I have a large table made in Frontpage 2003. Name in each cell should link to
same page. What is best way to do this?
Thanks.
 
I don't know that you can link from a table *cell* as such - you need an
object such as text or an image to link from.
 
each cell has a name in it...

You shouldn't need to link the cell; you need to link the text in the cell;
so create a normal hyperlink as you would for any other string of text.

Select the text, right click it > Hyperlink, type in the name of the page
you want to link to (or browse to it in the file list) Ok out of the
dialogue box an voila, you have a link!

I think you're also talking about "bookmarks". (jumping to a different place
in the same page).

So place the code(in code view) below where you want the place to jump to

<a name="whatever">

Or Insert > Bookmark, and name the bookmark first placing the cursor where
you want the page to jump to.

Then in the table, hilight the text, right click and select "Hyperlink" then
choose "Bookmark" and choose the bookmark from the list. OK out of all the
boxes.

Save the page and preview. Click the link and it should jump to the
bookmarked place on the page.

Repeat the procuredure above for as many as you need.

I hope this sorts out the matter for you.
 
Andrew,

Thank you for all of the info!

I actually have a very large table and want to apply the same link to every
entry. I was trying to avoid having to click each entry and making a link and
hoping there was a way to select them all at the same time.

The link would be to another webpage - not to another place within the same
page.

Thanks again!!
 
Create your link once and copy it to the other cells
