PUB2000: Hyperlinks with Tilde Character in Web Address Do Not Work (265116)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q265116 SYMPTOMS
When you save your publication as a Web page in Microsoft Publisher 2000,
you may receive the following error message when you click a hyperlink on
the Web page:
The page cannot be found.
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name
changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the hyperlink contains a tilde (~) character.
When you save your publication as a Web page, Publisher 2000 converts the tilde character in a hyperlink to the character string "%7e".
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use an HTML editor to change the "%7e" string
in the hyperlink back to the tilde (~) character.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Publisher 2000.
