Post subject: How Do I Activate the "HTML Code Fragment" Command? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>publisher>webdesign (more info?)
I am creating an email newsletter using MS Publisher 2003. Because the
newsletter is pretty long, I need to use bookmarks for easy navigation. The
way to do that is to use the "HTML Code Fragment" command, which is supposed
to be on the Insert Menu. (See the Micosoft OfficeOnline Assistance on this
topic at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011646651033.aspx).
Unfortunately, the HTML Code Fragment command does not appear on the Insert
menu and is not available. (This problem occurred on both the software that
I use at my University job and at home -- two different software packages.)
When I try to drag and drop the HTML Code Fragment command from the
"Customize" dialogue box, nothing happens.
All I need to know is how to activate the "HTML Code Fragment" command so
that I can bookmark locations on the newsletter. Thanks.
(BTW, I tried asking this same question on the "General" discussion -- to no
avail.)

Mike,
The html code fragment command will only show up in a web document. Go to
File > convert to a web publication. You will have the option of saving the
print doc and adding navigation...your choice. And then you will find the
insert html code fragment tool as you expected.
I have to do some more testing but so far I have not been able to get
inserted code fragments to survive the conversion to html for email, so you
might preview the email before you send it. Also, you will only be able to
email a single page, so if you have a multipage newsletter, you will
probably want to copy the additional pages to the first page (after you
convert to a web page, you will have plenty of length for four pages). You
might also want to consider sending a small page that links to your
newsletter posted on your web site if you have one. You also have the
alternative of sending the document as an image, and should probably disable
the "Enable incremental...", "Rely on VML..." and "Allow PMG..." under
options, which is where you will find the option of sending as a image.
Alternatively, most people feel that given the limitations of Publisher,
that you should convert a newsletter to PDF format and email it as an
attachment. You can get a free pdf tool at www.primopdf.com . Good luck.

Thanks, David. Actually, I finally got some answers in the "General"
section, so I see what I'm up against. To answer your question, when the
page is sent as an email message, the code displays -- not the link.
The only apparently workaround is to save the document as a web page, then
open it in Front Page (which will require some reformatting, because the
Publisher version doesn't copy accurately), then paste it into an email
message (which requires yet more reformatting, because the Publisher sections
become scrambed) then send.
Then have a stiff drink.
Bottom line: the Publisher "Email Newsletter" feature is remarkably lame,
unless you send an awfully short newsletter. It's probably better to build
it in Front Page from scratch.
I agree with you about sending as an attachment, or linking to our website
newsletter. Unfortunately, my boss does not and insists on an email
newsletter with bookmarks. [Sigh]
Thanks. - Mike

As you have FrontPage, that is the way to go...and I would rebuild from
scratch.

Exactly what I'm doing, along with web site design and construction, file
server setup, Access database setup, training, supervising grad students and
the occasional legal opinion. (Seriously) It's a busy place.
Thanks for the help and encouragement.
