Hyperlinks FP2000 & FP2002

[Thomas Robb]

I just upgraded to FP 2002 from FP2000. I can't figure
out how to hyperlink to an Adobe or Word document for
download other than manually typing in the address. With
FP 2000, all I had to do was choose the hyperlink icon
and a list of all of my files and folders would appear
and I simply had to double click on the file I wanted to
link the text or graphic to.

Why can't I do this in FP2002???

Make sure that the insert link dialog isn't just filtering the list of
files. In other words, make sure that it isn't looking for web pages that
end in .htm, .html, .asp, etc.. There should be a selector that you can set
to All files and that way it won't filter out the others. It's the same
mechanism that when you use the File | Open in Word you only get a list of
Word docs, unless you change the type of doc to look at to all files or
something else.

Hope this helps,
