6.11.3 Converting hypertext links to Word

By default, Mif2Go creates active links in Word from hotspots with hypertext markers in your FrameMaker document:

[WordOptions]

; UseHyperlinks = Yes (default) or No (ignore all hyperlinks)

UseHyperlinks=Yes

When UseHyperlinks=Yes, hotspots with hypertext markers become active, clickable links in Word.

When UseHyperlinks=No, hypertext hotspots are not clickable in Word. Nor are contents or index entries clickable; see §6.12 Converting generated files to print RTF.

Problems can arise when a hypertext hotspot includes other markers. Mif2Go handles some of these problems; you might have to deal with others:

Alert markers with tilde are ignored

Index marker ObjectIDs are excluded

Ignore selected marker types

Ignore individual markers

Alert markers with tilde are ignored

Mif2Go ignores hypertext Alert markers if the marker content starts with a tilde (~), as used by MicroType TimeSavers.

Index marker ObjectIDs are excluded

Unless you are converting the FrameMaker index, by default Mif2Go turns off FrameMaker Index marker ObjectIDs. To restore use of ObjectIDs for Index markers:

[WordOptions]

; KeepIXMarkerIDs = No (default, keep only if [Setup]UseFrameIX) or

; Yes (always keep Unique ObjectIDs for Index markers)

KeepIXMarkerIDs=Yes

Ignore selected marker types

To have Mif2Go ignore markers of a particular type, you can remap such marker types. For example:

[Markers]

alert=Delete

openObjectId=Delete

See §29.3 Remapping marker types and hypertext commands.

Ignore individual markers

To have Mif2Go ignore an individual hypertext marker, you must make the marker conditional, and hide its condition before converting your document. You can do this with a conversion template; see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template.
