Actually, what I am trying to do is slightly
different.  I have a vertical list on one side of a
page that I would like to turn into links by
specifying the coordinates of the area for people to
click on each one.  

I am not looking to make the words hyperlinks as they
were drawn up with another program and are not typical
text.  I need to select an area around each selection,
and 'map' it to another page.  I did this in my class
for a tutorial, but the coodinates were given to us.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Jeff Kirkland
