If it is a hypertext marker (Special > Hypertext, or Special > Marker, hypertext type), then you need: message URL mailto:[email protected] ("message" should be all lower case, "URL" all caps) This will result in a clickable link in the PDF you generate; apply a character format if you need to also make the link visible. Variables cannot be interactive, so this won't work when the e-email address is stored in a variable. (A text inset -- storing the text link and marker -- may be used instead, if you anticipate changes to the mail address) Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://.microtype.com FrameMaker/Acrobat/Captivate training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
