DBLand Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 A lot of links (ie. HTML hyperlinks) don't work in the help files. Some do some don't. I assume blue underlined text is a link as it always has been since the dawn of HTML. Do other people experience this? I use Firefox as my browser. Is this the problem? Since a search of the boards reveals nothing I feel very alone with this annoying bug. Quote Link to comment
IanH Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Firefox use to be an (documented) issue with online help, but with Firefox on Vista I have not noticed any issues for ages so don't know if a SP fixed it, upgrading to 2009 did or a change in Firefox. Mind you, I don't use online help very often Quote Link to comment

My understanding is that the early versions of 2008 had major issues on the Mac. Quote Link to comment
mr. iagea Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I have given up completely on using links in the provided HTML help pages. They just don't work. Not on Firefox, not on Safari, not at all. Maybe somebody should write a help document for the help pages. :grin: Edited June 22, 2009 by mr. iagea Quote Link to comment

Mat Caird Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I find lots don't work in/on Opera. I have given up on using links in the help if they don't work first time. Quote Link to comment
