I am trying to create a text box with a mouse over effect...here's what I'm doing:

1) create text box - click outside the box, then select the box
2) enable advanced text
3) add link to e.g. www.coffeecup.com

If I preview that, sweet, I have a linkable text

Now, I want to add mouse over effects to it:
1) select the box - click mouse over icon - select create
2) add styles and effects

So now when I preview, I have the 'look' I want but the link is now to 'default.htm'.
If I try to use the text tool, select the text again, and use Link Inspector, the ability to add/modify a link is greyed out

So in summary, how do I create a text box with Mouse over, and specify a link to follow when clicked?

thank you!

I don't know that you can do it with a text box. I think you need to create an Object in the shape of a box and you can apply both mouseovers and text to it.

(I'm assuming you are talking about VSD?)

Yes, it is VSD...

I don't understand how it can't be done...the mouse over effect is still incorporating a hyperlink, it's just overwriting what was used for the text box.

If I edit the code and change the reference from:

<DIV class="Object94"><A HREF="default.htm" onMouseOver=....
to
<DIV class="Object94"><A HREF="www.google.com" onMouseOver=
...it works, so something is changing the A HREF when mouse over is applied

Hi,

In you link box, are you checking "link" in the upper left corner? Otherwise it links only to the same page you're on.

Everything in the link inspector is greyed out
