hand pointer

[Chuck]

I have an html with pictures inserted. I have assigned a hyperlink to the
picture.
When I open the page I don't get the hand pointer to appear over the picture
although the picture shows nicely and the hyperlink works correctly. What am
I doing wrong? I'm using msoffice to create the page.

Without a URL I can't tell.

You just answered your own question.

Well, there's your problem. You created it with msoffice. MsOffice (I
am assuming Word) is not an HTML editor, and it puts in all sorts of
unweildy, bloated stuff in the page.

You need to look at some HTML tutorials, <http://www.w3schools.com> comes
to mind, get a plain text editor, like <http://www.html-kit.com> or just
plain notepad will do, and write the page.

Oh man, I'm getting SO tired of this.

How the hell am I supposed to tell what's wrong when you don't provide a
URL to an example of your problem?

There is no excuse for this omission. Probably 20% of the posts here ask
for a damned URL, and if you tried to research the problem a little before
asking you'd have encountered this request.

Absolute worst way to make a page. FrontPage is a step up, and it's six
floors below the ocean floor as it is.

Fix it with css:

<a href="..." style="cursor:hand;"> or cursorointer

This is the correct value.
