Hyperlinking and working with files when using the Live Website?

M

Mr B

Probably a really dumb question but it's late and I'm stumped....

This is with FP2k3....

Normally I modify my website offline on my computer and then
upload/publish the changes to the actual website. However, for one
site I have need to modify from multiple places so I decided it would
be easier to just modify it directly online and then every week or two
just publish the whole thing down to my computer as a back-up.

Everything works fine except I can't figure out how to Insert a
picture file or hyperlink to an existing file in the web. When I go
to the insert or hyperlink window, it wants to view files on my drive
instead of just showing the files from the open web.

When I highlight some text and choose Hyperlink, it defaults to
Current Folder but only shows me the pages I have open. It doesn't
show me any of the other pages or folders. I tried navigating around
but can't go anywhere. What am I missing or how do I create a simple
hyperlnk from one file to another when working with the live website?

THanks.

In the hyperlink dialog select the Look In and enter your URL (or browse to it in Network Places)
