links in FF

Denise

i got complacent - I made some changes and didn't check FF. I'm using Pub
07. I've got some links that work in IE but not FF - links to pages and to
PDFs. My nav bars at the bottom of the page don't work either. There are a
couple of other things but I'll start there. There website is www.shhrc.org,
and the problems are on the "program" page under Camp Cold Brook. Thanks.

In general, I would guess that you have 'grouped' some text boxes with other
design elements on your page and that results in the text in those text
boxes being converted to an image, which kills the links. It doesn't appear
that you did that with all the text boxes, as some of your links work and
some don't on the 'programs' page:
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/Page1087.htm

It appears that you are layering text boxes on top of this 'autoshape'
image:
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/image4894.png
That is fine. However, some of the text boxes you have layered on top of
that image have been converted to an image, such as:
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/image1809.png
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/image1368.png
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/image4207.png

If indeed you have grouped those text boxes together, then you can simply
ungroup them and that should result in the links working. If you did not
group them, then let me know.

While I didn't look at every page on your site, you also made the same
mistake on your home page:
http://www.shhrc.org/
This text has been converted:
http://www.shhrc.org/index_files/image367.png
So you need to check each page of your site and make sure that you haven't
inadvertently converted some text into an image by grouping the text box.

A poster named Panos, recently offered a good tip for spotting those times
where your text has been converted to an image. When you 'Publish to the
Web' direct your web files to your computer where you can easily find them.
Go to the 'index_files" folder and open it and view the files in thumbnail
view. ( View > thumbnails). Scan the thumbnail images looking for images of
converted text, and that will tell you where you need to fix the issue in
your Pub file.

Now as per the bottom navbar, that too is being converted to an image, which
kills the links. The fix is once again to ungroup it. However, this is
something you should wait to do when you are sure you are finished adding
any more pages to your navbar, as the process of ungrouping it will
disconnect it from the Publisher navbar and it won't be updated if you add
another page. When you are sure you won't be adding any more pages to the
navbar, then go to Edit > Select All > Arrange > Ungroup. This will ungroup
not only the bottom navbar but also the side navbar. Do this on each page.
This also fixes a problem with the navbar rendering correctly in IE8.

David, Thanks, I'm going to work on it and i'll let you know. However, I
now have a more pressing problem so I posted a new question about a msg
window.
