RE: converting email addresses to hyperlink
Adding to Jeremy's info: Before FM8, you could create hypertext links only with the Hypertext dialog box. Now, you can create them with the marker dialog box as well, but this dialog box doesn't contain the automated helper information or the Make View/Make Editable toggle field that the Hypertext dialog box does. Note that the helper for message client is incomplete. It just says "message." The Go to URL helper is correct, though.

Also, your precedure should start with applying a character format to the address string as it appears in the text. This defines the "hot spot" for the hypertext command. If you don't apply a character format (which doesn't necessarily need to make anything *look* different, although that is generally a good idea for usability), the the active area for the hypertext command will extend all the way to the end of the paragraph. Then use Ctrl+C to copy the string to the clipboard. This allows you to paste it into the Hypertext marker syntax box rather than having to retype it and possibly make a typo. You'll still have to type the "mailto:"; manually, though. -Fred Ridder

RE: converting email addresses to hyperlink
The complete procedure, from start to finish, with an alternate method. == 1. Type email address; i.e., n...@email.com 2. Copy email address to clipboard (highlight email address, press Ctrl+C) 3. Select Special > Hypertext 4. In Hypertext dialog, select pulldown and select Go to URL 5. In Hypertext dialog, add "mailto:"; in Syntax area, without double-quotes 6. In Hypertext dialog, paste ( press Ctrl+V) or type email address after mailto: 7. Hypertext dialog Syntax are should now reflect "message URL mailto:n...@email.com 8. Click New hypertext marker. The suggestion of creating a Character Format; i.e., URL, with font color set to Blue and all other characteristics set to As Is, gives the reader the visual clue that this is a link, is a very good suggestion. Most people are used to links appearing as Blue text. You could also set the Underline attribute. Again, what most users should be used to. A second way to accomplish this, if you are creating a PDF of the file, is to type your email address as "mailto:n...@email.com"; and let Acrobat apply the Hypertext link characteristics. Acrobat 8 does this automatically, although it doesn't apply Blue or Underline to the link. The user must mouse over the link to realize it is a link. Check Acrobat help for a possible way to have Acrobat apply these attributes. == --- On Thu, 1/1/09, Fred Ridder wrote: From: Fred Ridder Subject: RE: converting email addresses to hyperlink To: amake...@gmail.com, framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Thursday, January 1, 2009, 7:51 AM Avi Makeler asked:> Ok, I typed those things in the Command and Syntax fields. > > Now where is the OK (or Set) button ...? > > (I tried clicking on *Make View-Only *and it locked up my book.
