Spaces in your file names will not matter on your machine, but they may
online depending on what server you're on, so stick to lower case and no
spaces in folder and file names.
With your local website opened you can edit hyperlinks from: View | Reports
| Site Summary | hyperlinks - Im not sure if you can delete them from t
here though.

| Rob. Thanks for your advice. I think my problem has arisen right back at
| the beginning when I saved my web. For some reason FP didn't like me
saving
| the web in My Docs because it has only allowed me to add internal
hyperlinks
| starting
| File:///C:/My Documents/thenameofmywebsite/name of file etc. I don't think
| having spaces in my file/page titles helped either. Anyway I made a
mistake
| somewhere and have started again. Fortunately I can cut and paste the
text
| into the new web but I am having to start agin with adding the
hyperlinks -
| when I simply imported the pages I did not solve the problem and the site
| failed to publish. Do you know of any way of deleting all the hyperlinks
in
| my unpublished site rather than going in individually? Thanks again.
