Hey there, anyone have any advice...we have documents that were created in WP, but we are in the process of moving them to ID. We basically convert to RTF or Word and then place the files or copy/paste into ID files. All in all, a lot is maintained, such as styles, and now even Index entries, which is amazing. However, hyperlinks are causing me to beat my head against a wall. All the external links, to URLs, work just fine, they show up in ID and are functional once we make the PDF. However, all internal links are gone, no hyperlinks/bookmarks show up at all. In fact, depending on how we bring the text in, the actual text that was blue and hyperlinked to other spots in the text in WP or Word is completely gone. So, something that said, See Chapter 5's discussion of "Apples and Oranges." (where "Apples and Oranges" was blue text and linked to another section called Apples and Oranges in the text), shows up in ID as See Chapter 5's discussion of " ."
But, the external links are blue, show up, and are functional. WHAT?!?! We have about 5000 links, doing them all over again by hand is so painful to even think about. Anyone have any suggestions? Things to try? Is there something different we can do in WP or Word to "code" the hyperlinks differently so that they show up?
Please, help!
thanks :)
