adding a target frame to a hyperlink

[Heidi]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I have a Word document that contains hyperlinks. The hyperlinks include a target frame. When I Save As Web Page, the .htm file contains the hyperlink but not the target.

Looking at the Word document in Word 2008 on the Mac, the field codes look OK. I've links originally created using Word 2003 on the PC with the Target Frame button:

{ HYPERLINK "http://www.foo.foo <http://www.foo.foo>" \t "_parent" }

And, I've links that I've created in Word 2008 on the Mac:

{ HYPERLINK "http://www.foo.foo <http://www.foo.foo>" \n }

When I use File|Save As Web Page, both of these HYPERLINK fields generate hrefs missing the target:

<a href="http://www.foo.foo <http://www.foo.foo>">http://www.foo.foo</a&gt <http://www.foo.foo</a&gt>;

Is there a way to have the generated HTML preserve by target frame?

Thanks,
Heidi

Hi Heidi:

Not that we have discovered yet.

Save to HTML is fairly badly broken in Office 2008. Sorry.

You will need to edit the generated HTML in a web editor. Or do the job in
Windows Word.

Sorry.
