= PUB97: Adding Hyperlink to Publisher Story in Word Deletes Text =

Q156152
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher 97 for Windows - Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0 - Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, version 2.0z

SYMPTOMS

=
If while editing a Microsoft Publisher story in Microsoft Word you select several words and apply a hyperlink to them, only the first word is returned to Publisher. That single word is formatted as though it were a hyperlink, but it is not a hyperlink.

CAUSE

=
When you apply a hyperlink to text in Word, Internet Assistant converts that text to a field. When you exit Word and return to Publisher, the field is discarded; Publisher receives only the field results. Publisher does not fully understand the hyperlink formatting applied by Internet Assistant for Word.

RESOLUTION

=
If you want to apply a hyperlink to text in a publication, use the hyperlink tools in Publisher instead of Word.

STATUS

=
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
