Publisher needs to allow target="_blank" links

I have looked all over, and have not been able to get Publisher 2003 to allow
a <a href="file.html" target="_blank"> (the target="_blank" is the important
part) link to be created.

It creates pages just fine, but I would like to open a new page from some of
the links that link off of my web site. Is this a possability and I just
missed it somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I didn't think that it had been built into the Publisher Functionality,
but I couldn't see how it would be hard to add. Is this something that
Microsoft has considered adding? Does anyone know?

I did notice that there was the option to "Insert HTML Code Fragment", but I
don't quite understand where it inserts the code, and how I can use that
featuer to allow me to create a link from items that are already on the web
page and have that link open a new browser window. Any ideas on this option?

Thanks,
Bryan

It's been on my request list for awhile. I don't expect it to become a
reality any time soon.

any link you want to open in a new window must be a link you code yourself.
