I have a list that was created in MS Word with a list of items that have already been hyper-linked. I want to copy and past that list onto a page in my website, but when I do that all the hyperlinks are lost. This list easily has over 100 hyperlinks so I really, really do not want to have to go through and re-create each one (such a tedious process)! How can I copy this list onto a page in my site without loosing all the hyperlinks?
thanks for the help!

Sorry Amber, but VSD doesn't work that way. What you could do is use the HTML Tool for this, but then inside of VSD you won't see the links until you preview your website.

How would you do it in the HTML Tool?

You would have to know how to write some basic HTML. Here is a small example of something you can use.
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg1.html>Page</a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg2.html>Page/a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg3.html>Page</a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg4.html>Page</a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg5.html>Page</a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg6.html>Page</a><br />
<a href="http://mydomain.com/paeg7.html>Page</a><br />

Amber - you "might" be able to use MS Word's Export (or Save As) to HTML and then paste the resulting code into VSD's HTML Tool. I believe that would retain the links integrity during the transition. However, I don't currently have Word installed on any of my computers so I can't tell you step-by-step how to do this...
Good luck

I just looked at how it comes out with word, and you pretty much might as well code the whole thing in html.
HOWEVER, if you're not all that familiar with html Amber, I've created a simple step-by-step guide at http://shearme.coffeecup.com/linksfromword.html

Yes, I am a genius. Or, Google is amazing for finding "stuff". One or the other.
