Word Hyperlinks lost when text in box put behind picture, why?

[Guest]

I need to hperlink text in boxes hidden in a picture. I am using
Word 2000. I create the text box at a specific point on a picture whixh was
pasted on the page earlier. Then I hperlink the text in the box to a specific
Adobe file. The link on test works fine. I then go to Format/text
box/layout, and select 'behind the text', when completion, the text is now
hidden by the picture, but now the hyperlink is not working. I am sure that
when I tried this once before in the past. the link remained even though the
text was hidden..Any help would be appreciated.

Anything graphic placed "behind the text" is usally not "selectable" if there's
anything at all in front of it.
