Hello, I want to publish kind of a newsletter on CD. The content would be almost only text. To make it easier to read I would like to have links to the different articles. I know how to write html codes manually for a web site. But I don’t know if I can use the same html codes when I write the text for the CD in Word and if yes what must I do that only the link appears on the CD and not the html code. And would such a link work when I burn/save the newsletter on a CD later? So the customer who buys the CD can read the introduction or content and then jump directly to the article s/he wants to read. I want only links to articles on the CD and no links that connect to the Internet. Thanks for your help. Have a good day
I would say that yes this is possible using a Cascading Style Sheet defined in the index section. Then in there use an unused extension that the computer would not recognize so they would not be able to open the individual pages that contain the actual information. Of course they could still open them with notepad if they were smart enough, but that would be a good deterent. Another good alternative is to save the text files using PDF files, so that they can be printed but not copied by cut and paste. Hope this helps.

Say you have a format of this :
index.html in the main body of cd
folders a, b , and c, with images
to access images in a, b , or c, you would have to do this :
<a href="a/pic1.jpg">a</a>
say you have the index file in a folder, named document
and you have the images on the main cd path. to display the pics you would have to write code as this :
< a href="../a/pic1.jpg">a</a>
the ".." makes you jump back a folder to access files
hope this helps :0)

HTML allows you to link to a file, regardless of whether its stored on the internet or not.
You’ll want to make all your links relative to each. For example:
home_directory/articles/article1.***
This will link your customers to a file on the CD from a CD.
As long as you do not create links with references like:
http://www.something.com, you will not link to the internet.
Next, if you are using HTML, the best way to view it is in an internet browser and not microsoft word.
Check out this site for information on making an autorun CD that will load your main page when the CD is inserted.
