hyperlinking email addresses in a directory

[Kim]

I am using a catalog merge to form a directory which I plan on turning into a
..pdf. I am wanting to have everyone's email address be hyperlinked so people
can access their email with just a click. Can this be done? How?

It depends on the pdf application you are using. Publisher doesn't export
hyperlinks to pdf's with certain applications. They would need to be
manually recreated in the PDF app once converted from Publisher. Adobe
Acrobat 7 will retain Publisher's hyperlinks.

Also, if a viewer has Reader v6.02, an email address is automatically a
link, without a hyperlink in Publisher. Caveat: It does not appear like a
common link. There are no indications until you put your cursor on it.
