creating linkable entries in publisher 2003

[onatan]

can you create a hypertext link to a specific textbox, or even a text within the text box, using publisher?
I'm trying to create a table of contents for a newsletter where the entries in the TOC will link to the specific sections (as this is webby, there are not gotin to be any page numbers).
is there a way to do it?
(With straight HTML, i think that the tag to make a place linkable is <A name=xxx>.)

Pub doesn't support it. All you can do is write the code yourself -

I'd recommend you use Word. It is better suited for a TOC and it does
support "bookmarking" hyperlinks. Word saves as a web page same as
Publisher.

I am having a similar issue and could use some help. I am creating a
newsletter to be emailed. Since I have several articles on it, I to include
a few paragraphs, then provide a link that says something like "Read More".
Clicking on the link will pull up the full article and let the reader
continue reading right where they left off. I do not want to link to the
original source since I do not know if the article will remain on the site it
is taken from. I want the linked article to be part of the newsletter, but
only fully accessable by clicking on the "Read More" link.

How can I accomplish this task?

Typically a "read more" design will link to the actual article. For
example... http://www.barvin.com - where only a snippet of the article is
shown and then links to the full text. In your case of using an html email
this is all the more the design that should be used for best results.
To remain in place and simply drop the text in and out requires the text to
actually be on the page, you merely control it's visibility. This is done
using JavaScript. Publisher has no support for scripting (i.e. dynamic
effects, as stated on the faq-
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 ) And using scripting in
an html email will be prone to difficulties if it is even possible. Doing
this is difficult in a web page as it is do to various differences in
browsers handling of the scripts. The FAQ page at
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 - is itself an example of
the text opening and closing. To pursue this you need to visit javascript
sites/resources.
