I want to insert a link to a file using a Hotspot in a new memo(!)is there a way of typing in the memo body "Click here to open file" or whatever, clicking on a smart icon which opens up a window which easily allows you to you to browse through to afile/folder which creates the hotspot with the mimimin of fuss. I know how to this by typing in the full path within the Hotspot resource link window but I need to be able to do this by using a mouse
Any help much appreciated

I hope this does what you want!
Open Notes and Windows Explorer.
Navigate in Explorer to the file/folder you want.
Drag file/folder down to Notes icon on taskbar. Wait for Notes to display.
Drop file onto Notes.
If the file appears in a bormat that you don't want, right-click it in Notes and choose Display As... and choose Icon (at the bottom of the list).
It's not a "hotspot" but it will get the person to the file/folder that you want them to get to.

In order to use HTML tags within a Lotus Notes documents, square brackets must surround the tag. For example, this is the normal HTML format for creating a hotspot:

University of Michigan

To create a hotspotin Notes, put brackets on the outside of the greater-than / less-than signs:

[]University of Michigan[]

(I found this, by the way, on the University of Michigan Web site.)

Good luck and have a GREAT 2002!
