Inserting a Hyperlink

The source text, or hotspot, allows you to create a relationship between text in your topic and a Hypertext Link object, or a Macro Procedure object.

The Select Hyperlink window is used to apply or edit existing hyperlink objects, or create new objects.

To Insert a Hyperlink:

1. Select the source text in your topic.
2. Choose Edit > Insert > Insert Hyperlink Object. The Select Hyperlink window opens listing available hypertext links and macro objects in your library. To view links and macro procedures from a selected folder choose Filter: Current Folder.

   

3. If the object you want is listed, select it then choose OK.

   -or-

   If the object you want is not listed, choose New to create a new Hyperlink or Macro Procedure object.

When you insert the link the source text is displayed with a blue underline for a Hypertext Link, or green underline for a Macro Procedure.

Note: If no source text is highlighted, the Hyperlink or Macro object Description is inserted at the cursor position and turned into a hotspot.
