Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I looked over the tables and the manual containing them and while there may indeed be some issues with this feature, I confess that I'm still not clear on the proper steps to accomplish it. I'm trying the openlink <path to file> and while I did not receive an error when I clicked Update, I'm not sure what to do next. There is no Insert Hypertext Marker button in FM 19 and for some reason, I'm now only seeing a "Conditional Tags"  tab in the Hypertext dialog box (see image). I'm pretty sure that there was a Marker tab, for inserting a marker. All that being said, I've been told by someone in marketing that for this project, we can probably insert the links after the fact Adobe Acrobat. I may need to fight with this some more in the future though. ... View more

linsims​ Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, I'm still having issues with this. Even though I want to link to an external PDF, to simplify my testing, I'm trying to link to an Internet URL. I tried message URL but I'm not sure how to use the Marker functionality. The UI in FM 2019 is different from previous versions. Where previously, you would click "New Hypertext Marker", now you have a Marker tab with a Marker Type drop-down list and a field for Marker text. I'm sure if I understood the FM way to do it, I'd find the UI easier to work with. It seems like it might have been easier using the older method. Funny enough, even the Adobe help page for FM 2019 seems to reference the pre-2019 method. https://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/2019/using/using-framemaker-2019/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7960b-7e10_ver12.0.html I have to say, setting up a hyperlink in FM seems overly complicated. ...

Thanks. I will try it tomorrow. ... View more

Yes. I ended up going with a dark colored background and white text and it seems to serve the purpose. My LF box did not have spaces before and after the letters so I did not need to turn off Smart Spaces. The only small issue with this method is that when the boxes were side by side, I had to leave space between them so that it looks like they are separate. That being said, it certainly does the trick for my purposes. Thanks for checking up. Bob ... View more

Thanks for the reply Bob. I will have to take a look and see the reasons for requiring carriage return etc. I'd rather use something a bit more up to date if I can. ... View more
