Link a word in a sentence to go to another frame?

I want to be able to do the following:
Type out a sentence and then highlight one of the words in the sentence and create a link to go to another frame.
Is this possible?
The only other way which is time consuming (Especially with possibly hundreds of sentences) is to create each word as a button and then fit each word as a sentence together.
surely there is an easier way?
It will be the basis of an Elearning course for kids to click on a word in a sentence and based on their choice they go to a Correct or Wrong frame.
Captivate cannot do this unfortunately.

I'm not sure regarding the whole typing/highlighting end of things if you mean to do that will the file is running.   But in the authoring mode if you use the htmlText property of the textfield you can assign links in the text and use the TextEvent class to listen for clicking of the links and then take action on that.
aTextField.htmlText = "Here's <a href=\"event: frame10\">One Link</a> and here's <a href=\"event: frame20\">Another</a>";
aTextField.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, linkEvent);
function linkEvent(evt:TextEvent):void {
     var frameLabel = evt.text;
     gotoAndStop(frameLabel);

  • Open portal from a link in Word

    Hello,
    I currently have a strange issue.
    First the scenario: I have a SP17 portal, inside the portal I have an ITS (6.20) iView running an EWT. Inside this EWT I have the option to click a button which opens a Word document in a new Window. Inside this Word document I have a link that links back to the portal looking something like: http://portal.domain.com:50000/irj/portal?navigationtarget=...
    So basically I have 3 windows:
    1. Original portal window
    2. Word opened from portal and hence runs in the same session
    3. New window showing new portal content and also runs in same session
    All these three windows runs in the same session and hence share the same MYSAPSSO2 cookie.
    If I do this on a computer with Office 2000, clicking the link in Word just opens a new window and showing what I want in the portal. With the same user in window 3 as in window 1.
    If I use Office 2003, the portal presents the user with a portal logon page. But now the strange things happens. If the user presses F5 in this new window (window 3) the user gets directly access to the content, as supposed.
    How do I get rid of this annoying and unnessecary logon page? Usermanagement is pretty much left as default, and all iViews and roles uses the "default" authentication scheme.
    Best regards,
    Thomas Mouritsen

    Hi Thomas,
    At least this kind of issues with office documents has a long history. Even if the exact scenario you are describing is not listed, check out SAP note 549610 - maybe it helps also in your case.
    Another approach to understand what happens is to use some tool like HTTPWatch to see what's the difference between the first and the second (refreshing) request to window 3.
    Anyhow, I wouldn't wonder if that helps to understand the problem - but not to solve it. But in this case, just open an OSS message with your gathered knowledge about the issue and maybe the note given above will be extended...
    Hope it helps

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

  • How do I remove a space before the first word in a sentence using find and replace or GREP?

    Right, so I am laying out a document in inDesign from a word document and it has a space before every first word in a sentence. It is really annoying and I need a quick way to get rid of them. I wasn't too sure how to do it with find/change but I am sure there is a way in GREP if someone can help me. I have included an image so that people can see exactly what I mean.

    The ^ location works for all paragraphs.
    But a note to the OP, there is a sample script called FindChangeByList that removes leading and trailing spaces as well as extra spaces after punctuation, all in one go. But if you want to continue to use a GREP find/change to remove leading space, I'd modify Joel's suggestion to ^\s+ to get those cases where the user typed multiple spaces as well.
    And don't forget there are actually legitimate places for leading tabs, which both the script and this GREP will find and remove, so be careful.

  • Link to word doc in Mx7

    We just moved up to MX7. I have some stagnant word documents
    attached to my site. Now when people click the link to open them,
    they get gooblygook before the text. Also all formatting (bold/etc)
    is gone. Why is cf not just pulling this up to open? Can I not just
    link to a word doc or do I have to convert it to a pdf/other
    format?
    Thanks,
    J

    We have no such problem with our links to word documents in
    MX 7. Can
    you provide some pieces of your code?
    If you are just doing direct links, there should be no
    trouble, ie.
    <a href="a/path/to/a/word/doc/file.doc">Open this word
    file</a>

  • Is there a way to capitalize just the first word on a sentence on Pages v5.2?

    I'm sort of new to iwork, but i've been working with word for a long time and i know it very well.
    In word there is a tool in which you select a paragraph and you can capitalize the first word of each sentence.
    Is there a way i can do the same with pages v5.2? Pages would only let me capitalize each word of the selected paragraph.
    Thanks

    The previous major version of Pages (Pages '09 version 4.3) could automatically capitalize the first word of each sentence as you typed. That capability and a number of others was lost with the release of Pages v 5. You may still have the older version available in your Applications folder. You may also want to switch to Word or Open Office (free), both of which will likely be more familiar if you have worked with Word before.

    something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

    * Where have they acknowledged anything?
    ** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

  • Link/RE-link to word docs with form fields?

    Trying something new, and when I took the InDesign 2 day class the instructor was not very familiar with linking to word docs, she just never used the feature.
    So, I have multiple contributors who will onlly work in word. I am trying to set up a template/form for them to fill in that I can link to my .indt.
    I have the styles set up and matching, and I'm looking for a way that I can lock everything but the areas where they need to fill in information. My plan is to do this by making a form in Word with text fields. Will this transfer over to the InDesign file when I relink? If not what is an alternative solution using Word with out having to copy and past all the time ?

    Ohhh k.
    OK Yes this is possible.
    I do mean for it to link, the content is dynamic I need the technical people to be able to edit content before I get it. The point is to have multiple contributors working in word (absolutely must be word), creating new content that can be fed into indesign relatively automatically while preserving the InDesigns styles applied to certain text frames.
    It does need to link back to get content updates so I have this option turned on in the general preferences to allow this.
    The word documet is set up, as follows:
    Form fields are created, along with their respective titles or headings. A style/structure element is applied. The style doesn't have to match what is in indesign but it is helpful.
    Click the text box and got to "Place"
    Select the document and select the "Show Import Options"
    Under import options select "Preserve Styles and formatting..." Then Select the "Customize Style Import" radial and click style mapping. I tried doesn't this with the Automatic Import and it didn't work properly, custom mapping will identify the right information to style while overiding the actual style information from Word and instead uses the InDesign Style.
    So... not necessarily a job for InCopy, though I realize that would be better, working in for a Microsoft Partner Network Gold Certified Partner, it would be impossible to get everyone to switch over to InCopy.

  • Links to Word Templates

    I am trying to create links to Word templates but when
    someone clicks on them they become documents instead of the *.dot.
    I checked and someone said that the web server needed to be
    configured to have a MIME type assignment for *.dot files as
    "application/msword"? Are we supposed to do this in Dreamweaver,
    and if so how do I do it?

    MIME types are added to the server. How to do this depends on
    your server.

  • No Insert Flash dialog box in PPT files with links to Word

    Presenter will not display the "Insert Flash (swf)" dialog box in PowerPoint presentations that have slides linked to a Word document.
    It works fine in PPT presentations that do not have the links to Word.
    I need to import a SWF in the presentation as well as have Word link to the slides in PPT.
    Is there a solution?

    The solution was to install a later version of Presenter. It works now.

  • Can you link from Word to a specific page in PDF without a webserver?

    I am trying to add a link within Word that opens a specific PDF file and goes to a particular page within the PDF.  Is there a way to do this without a webserver?

    I have a similar problem I would like to solve. I am also running Word 2003, Windows XP and Acrobat Professional 7.0.
    I can create a hyperlink in a word document to open a separate PDF file.
    I can then use PDF Maker to convert the word document to PDF.
    No problem.
    When I click on the new link in the PDF document it opens the separate file in the same window and the original PDF file is closed.
    I do not want the original file to close.
    When I set up a new link from within Acrobat then I get the option to "Open in new window". This link works the way that I want.
    As there are multiple hyperlinks in the word document, I will need to recreate new links everytime I modify the Word document. This is very time consuming
    Question - how do I get the automatically created link to open in a new window?
    Thanks in advance

  • Problems linking to Word document

    I wrote this as a reply to a similar post last week but I'm
    afraid it got buried in the thread...part of Rick's response to
    that poster was: "2. If you are linking to Word or .PDF documents,
    there is a slight chance you will find the link actually fails for
    some reason. Yet, if you simply place focus in the address bar of
    your browser and press Enter to refresh, the document loads right
    up. Go figure. If that begins happening, let us know and there is a
    possible workaround for you."
    That is the problem I'm having--can you share the workaround
    you mention? It happens most--but not all--of the time, and only
    with the Word documents; my PDFs and web links open with no
    problem. The documents are housed on a public website. I am using
    Captivate 3 if that matters.
    Thank you for any help you can offer!
    Julie

    Hi Julie
    Here's how it's done.
    From inside Captivate 3, click File > Record/Create >
    MenuBuilder Project.
    Choose the Blank Project type and click OK.
    Click Options > Project Options...
    Configure the width and height to the smallest possible
    values. This will be 320 wide and 200 tall.
    Click OK.
    Click Insert > Clickbox.
    Type the file name of the Word document or PDF and ensure you
    click to place a check mark in the "Save file with project" check
    box.
    Click OK and you should see a dialog asking if you want to
    browse for the file. Click No.
    Size the Clickbox so it covers the entire project area.
    Click File > Export.
    Save the project using any name you like. I frequently do
    this and just use "Untitled" as that's what it suggests.
    Choose Flash Movie as the type of project and click Next
    >.
    Type a name to identify the .SWF and choose an easy to
    remember location. I often use the Desktop.
    Click Finish.
    Close MenuBuilder. You are finished with that (unless you
    wish to create more of these)
    In Captivate on the slide where you want the user to click to
    open the document or PDF, click Insert > Animation.
    Browse to the location where you exported the Menubuilder
    file and select it.
    What you are doing is creating a MenuBuilder output to drop
    into a Captivate project to open files. I'm not sure why or how
    it's different than the way Captivate works, but different it is.
    Hopefully this helps you out... Rick

  • External Link to Word document question

    Hello, fellow RoboHelpers!
    I have a quick question that I am hoping someone can answer
    for me. :-)
    I am using RoboHelp X5 and use Microsoft HTML Help (.CHM) as
    my file output. I would like to link a Word document to one of my
    topics, so when a user clicks the link, they will be prompted to
    open/save the Word document.
    The following are the steps I use to do this:
    1) I type the text that I want the to use for the hyperlink,
    highlight it, and select the Hyperlink tool (or press CTRL+K).
    2) In the Hyperlink dialog box, I select "File" from the
    "Link To:" section and select my Word document.
    3) I select "Yes" to add the Word document to my project
    folder.
    4) In the Hyperlink diaglog box, I select OK, and the link
    has been created.
    5) I generate my Help project and test the link.
    6) When I click the hyperlink, I receive a "File Download -
    Security Warning" box asking me if I want to Open or Save the Word
    document.
    Problem #1 -- it appears that I can save the Word document by
    clicking "Save" without any problems, but clicking "Open" does not
    open the Word document in Microsoft Word. Why?
    Problem #2 -- The warning box displays three criteria: the
    file name, what type of file it is, and "From". I have issues with
    the "From" line. While the .CHM file is attempting to call the Word
    document from within the .CHM file, which is what I expected it to
    do ... the path is, well, ugly looking :-P
    mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\RoboHelp%20Office\
    RoboHTML\HTMLMicrosoftHTML\VRHelp.chm::/ICBA.doc
    Is there any way that I can clean up this path? If I could at
    least get rid of that mk:@MSITStore, that would be a good start.
    If anyone has some suggestions, I am all for it!
    Thank you very much,
    --Jessica

    .chm file, much like an "http:" precedes a web address. I'm afraid
    that just is part of the path if the Word document is embedded in
    the help file.
    Ahh, I am sorry to hear that that is the case. Thanks for the
    information!

    RHX5 does this automatically with your steps as I use an older
    version.
    John
    Yes, the Word document is added as a baggage file. If I click
    "Open", the Security Warning box disappears and nothing happens
    (unfortunately).
    In the Hyperlink properties, I realized that I had the link
    opening in the "same window", so I changed it to display in a "New
    Window". Now, when I generate/click the link, the Word document
    tries to open in Internet Explorer (path and all). I get the same
    message box as before asking me if I want to Open or Save the
    document. Still, clicking "Open" will not open the Word document in
    Microsoft Word. When I press Open, the box simply disappears and
    the path remains in the Internet Explorer address bar. If I select
    the path in the message bar and press Enter to bring up the
    Open/Save prompt again, I can save the document ... but I cannot
    Open it.
    A thought just occurred to me while I was typing this: Would
    the fact that I am using Microsoft Word 2007 have anything to do
    with why the file will not open? I remember hearing that Office
    2007 is not compatible with RoboHelpX5, so perhaps that is why the
    document is not opening. Still, RoboHelpX5 doesn't seem to have a
    problem saving the file to your harddrive regardless of the
    filetype, and the Word document I am working with is a .doc file
    anyway, compatible with Word 97-2003, not a .docx.

  • Links in Word Documents to SharePoint documents

    Our SharePoint site contains Word documents with links to other documents stored in SharePoint.
    When the users open a Word document stored in SharePoint, and then create a link, the users select the files in the "Current Folder" which is the SharePoint Network Drive.  In this case the path is
    \\rcssportal.co.riverside.ca.us\DavWWWRoot\sites\teammate\
    When users then open the Word document, and select a link, they receive a "Cannot open the specified file" pop up. 
    If users do one of the following though, after being authenticated all the links will start working:
    1. In the document library, select "Open with Explorer"
    2. Map a Network Drive to
    \\rcssportal.co.riverside.ca.us\DavWWWRoot\sites\teammate\

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to link in Word Documents to SharePoint documents.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, I can open the Linked Word Document in the SharePoint Network Drive.
    Please make sure you create Network Drive correctly. For more information, you can refer to:
    Using SharePoint Document Library as a Network Drive
    If the issues still exist, I recommend to select "Open with Explorer" to open the document.
