Ah, I get it now: you want to set up hyperlinks to arbitrary destinations that

Okay, I found the PDF, but on this system, I don't have FrameMaker running, so
I am not sure what I did (was eleven years ago ... and we went to an on-line

Bertrand, I can send the PDF to you to show the result if you
Hmmm, I seem to recall doing this in FrameMaker ... I will see if I can find
that document and remember how I did it.
Used it in a glossary doc, so I may be able to send it along since it is not

many people.) See
