Unless you change it in Navigation View, FP uses the page Title for the banner text
You have <TITLE>04/28 - Wed - consignment</TITLE>
So that is what it uses
View Navigation and rename it

|
| In my experience, if a page has a title, FP2003 will use
| that title as the default hyperlink text. It only uses
| the file name if the title is missing or blank.

| I am using pages that have titles. If I click the "insert hyperlink" button without selecting any text first, and then
select the page I want to link to, the "Text to Display" box shows the exact same thing as the address box. For example, when I
link to this page:
http://www.horstauction.com/Sale_bills/sale20040428.htm, the text that appears in the box (and as my hyperlink)
is sale20040428.htm. But when I look at the page, the page title "04/28 - Wed - consignment" appears at the top AND in my page
banner - so the page title seems to be assigned properly.

|
| What command are you using to insert the text file?
|
| I tried choosing File from the Insert menu.
|
| o If I chose a .txt file that cointained plain text, I
| got the Convert Text dialog box:
| Convert Text To: One Formatted Paragraph
| Formatted Paragraphs
| ...
| o If I chose a .txt file that contained HTML, FP2003
| pasted the <body> section of that HTML.
|
| Does that help?
|
| FWIW, I think most designers do this by opening the file
| in Notepad or another text editor, then copying and
| pasting the text they want.

| I'm using the Insert-File, also (little paperclip for an icon.) The files (sale bill text files for the auction) are sent to
me by a newspaper, and they are MAC-based, so I do not have an editor that makes them look just right. But even so, I used to get
the Convert Text dialog box when I inserted them in FP2000. Now I don't. The newspaper has been MAC since I've been doing this for
over 4 years now, so that isn't new. The files have a .txt extension, and I thought that would trigger the Convert Text dialog box.
While I can go into Word, open the file using the MS default, and then copy and paste, it's a lot of steps I didn't have to do
before. And this is a process I go through quite often, for every single sale bill.
