Creating a hyperlink from scratch
A hyperlink is a text string, box, or line that points to a particular destination. To create a hyperlink and a destination at the same time:
- Select the range of text or item you want to use as the hyperlink.
- Click the New Hyperlink button in the Hyperlinks palette.
- Choose Style > Hyperlink > New.
- Display the context menu for the selected text or box and choose Hyperlink.
- To specify the URL manually, choose URL, and then either type the URL in the URL field or use the Select button to create a path to a particular file. (Keep in mind that you must make sure the path is still valid in the exported HTML page.) You can choose from four common protocols using the drop-down menu next to the URL field.
- To link to a different page in the same layout, choose Page and then choose a page from the Page drop-down menu.
- To link to a particular anchor in the same layout, choose Anchor and then choose an anchor from the Anchor drop-down menu.
- Click OK.
