Hyperlinks in a rotated text box or a text box that has border art are lost in Publisher 2003 (829173)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Publisher 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you create hyperlinked text in a rotated text box or in a text box that has a border art from a Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 print publication, the hyperlink will be lost when you publish or preview in the browser.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the Publisher 2003 publication is in print mode.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, create a Web publication in Publisher 2003 instead of a print publication. If a publication is already created in print mode, do one of the following:
  • Convert the publication to Web. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Open the publication in print mode.
    2. On the File menu, click Convert to Web Publication.
  • If you want to keep the publication in print mode, manually undo the rotation of the text box, and then remove any border art from the text box.
