Hi Stephen,

Have you isolated the individual markers with separate paragraphs or with
character tags? If you have multiple markers within the same para, FM (IIRC)
only recognizes the first.

Subject: Help: Hypertext command "popup menu"

Hi,

I use hypertext commands in the header area of a 
FM 8 document (latest patch) to display a menu 
(ex. Snacks) with two submenus (ex. Fruits and Vegetables). See example
below:

Snacks
    [Fruits]...Apple
                 Orange
                 Banana
    [Vegetables]...Carrot
                        Potato

The commands on each submenu (a name with a link 
to a URL) show when I click a submenu name, but 
only the items in the first submenu, when 
clicked, actually work (open the URL). So, 
clicking Apple works, but not Carrot or Potato (and veggies are important!).

Any ideas? I really need a second and a third submenu!!

See, I am conceiving a header area of a FM 
document (it automatically loads on starting FM) 
that would provide access via menus/submenus to 
all Documentation ressources (books, documents, 
Excel files, Web sites, etc.). Makes it easy to 
add new ressources and explain them to new tech 
writers without having to browse subdirectory 
structures, create Windows shortcuts, etc.

Thanks for any help!!
