Hyperlinking in Outlook

[Steve]

Hello all,

I'm in the process of creating a company email newsletter and in order to make it more user-friendly; I will have a list of the numbered articles followed by the full articles.
*Example*
1. Obama: US prepared for any threat from North Korea
2. U.S. Destroyer Shadows North Korean Ship
3. Iran's Web Spying Aided By Western Technology
4. Hawaii Unfazed by Missile Threat
5. A Personal Touch in Taliban Fight
6. In Search of Innovation
7. At General Dynamics, Chief Leaves a Legacy Of Nailing the Numbers

1. Obama: US prepared for any threat from North Korea
By Staff, Washington Post
June 22, 2009

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama said the United States is "prepared for any contingencies" involving North Korea - including the regime's reported threat to launch a long-range missile toward Hawaii.

Basically what I want it to do is click the numbered topic in the e-mail and it brings(links) you down to the corresponding article; no outside links. I've tried several times to use the "hyperlink" function to no avail. Each time I try to link, I can only link from the numbered heading (lower in the message) to the top of the page; not from the top to the article's numbered heading.

When attempting to set the hyperlink in "Place in current doc" section the bookmark and heading options won't allow me to selct "Ok" only the "top of the document" option.

I'm using Outlook 2003, any insight?

I create my newsletters in an html editor and insert it into outlook to
send. I use normal html hyperlink bookmarks and they do work.

But... if you want to do it in outlook, insert a bookmark then use the
hyperlink dialog to link to it. This does work if you use word as the
editor.

Yeah, use Seamonkey to created the .htm file and then add it to your
signatures.

I've tried using the hyperlink function in Word and Outlook with the same result described in my first post.

You must first create a bookmark in front of the text that you want to jump
to. After that, go back to your Index and create the hyperlinks to those
places. In other words; you'll have to work bottom up ;-)
