Hyperlinks from shapes (hotspots) aren't working correctly

Hyperlinks from text are working fine -- pulling the correct page to the
correct frame. Hyperlinks from shapes (i.e., a box around text, or a hotspot
on a graphic) are either pulling pages to the wrong frame (and I've
triple-checked the target), or simply not working at all, just not linking to
anything -- even though I have specified the page and the target.

They can't touch, they can't overlap. If they do, you will get all sorts of
strange stuff.

Make sure they are at least one pixel apart. (There is a button to
highlight them for this purpose.)

The "target" tag takes care of frames in the hyperlinks, try checking the
HTML code to make sure they are correct.
 
If by box you mean a text box created from the FP drawing toolbar,
then this is normal. Hyperlinks contained in text-boxes are quirky,
and often fail.
Also be aware that text boxes use VML graphics, which can only be seen
on Windows PCs using IE5.5 or later. Other browsers will see nothing
at all or a poor quality .gif representaion (and any hyperlinks
contained in the VML graphic will always fail)
