Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid I'm not sure how I would include that
code (or any code) in Publisher.

Perhaps I can restate the question in a concrete manner. I want to apply a
hyperlink to text or a graphic. I select said object and then click Insert >
Hyperlink. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box appears. I can type the
destination of the link in the field at the bottom, but I don't seem to have
a way to specify that the link should open in a new window. Normally, I would
add target="_blank" to the address, but that does not work in the resulting
document from Publisher. So the question is, how do I enter a hyperlink
address and specify that it should open a new window?

Thanks so much.

You can reference the section about opening your page in a new window down
the page: Troubleshoot hyperlinks in Publisher:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/p...0805631033.aspx

It sounds like using the ECMAScript code method would work best for you. If
the code doesn't work corrrectly for you, then I would suggest changing the
first code snippet from:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
</script>

To:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">function Show(Url,
Name, Features) { window.open(Url, Name, Features); }</script>

I also would suggest that you write the hyperlinks in NotePad, copy and use
Ctrl V to paste in the address field of the hyperlink dialog.
