Cross-reference to External Document...

I have a Folder Called Parent.

Inside PARENT folder, I have an FM file called CHAPTER1.FM and a sub-folder Child.

Inside the CHILD folder I have a PDF file called ABCD.PDF.

How can I add a link or Cross-Reference to PDF file into the Framemaker???

Thanks you.

Bingo.

Thanks Jeff, that was it.

In the Message Client Syntex, I was missing a word openfile, message openfile filename

Thank you, appreciate it.

Sorry, I’ve never used the hypertext command, so I was just going on what the help & the FM bible (Publishing Fundamentals – Matt Sullivan) said.

Is not there anybody who knows how to create a link or cross-reference to an external document (from within the Framemaker)???

Look up hypertext commands in the help

To create a link to external Document:

I selected a word XXX and assigned a new character format (to differentiate the hypertext)
Then I went into the Hypertext Dialog box
In Command dropdown (of Hypertext dialog box), I selected Open Document
In Sentex section, I typed openlink U:\xxx\xxx\abcd.pdf

then when I clicked Edit Hyper Marker, I got following error message...

Any thoughs???
