Add Links to Text

 Return to WS 5.0 Home Page

 

Links can be added to any amount of text in an object. You determine what text in the text object should have the link and then select that specific text. It can be a character, a word or words, a sentence, paragraph, the entire text object or anything in between.

 

After you link to text, you can select the link colors that will display on the internet and also choose to add or remove the underline from the linked text.

 

 

 This article shows you how to use a link from the Links Gallery. You can also use the Links Commands and the Object Properties dialog in Selected Object Menu to add links to text.

 

 

Add a link to an entire text object

• Click once on the text object to select it. Do not double click because that activates the text object for editing.
• Click on the tab to open the Links Gallery. 
• Drag and drop the link onto the text object.  
• All of the text is now underlined and changed to a different color. This indicates that a link is added to the text.  

  

Add a link to a word

• Double click on the text object to activate it for editing. 
• Select the word to receive the link.
• Choose the Link gallery.
• Drag the appropriate link onto the appropriate word and drop it.

Add a link to a selection of text

• Select the appropriate text as you would to change the text’s style to Bold.
• Choose the Link gallery.
