Operation Manual

If you do not want LibreOffice to convert a specific URL to a hyperlink, go to Edit > Undo Insert on
the main menu bar, or press Ctrl+Z immediately after the formatting has been applied, or place the
cursor in the hyperlink, right-click, and select Remove Hyperlink from the context menu.
Tip
To change the color of hyperlinks, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice >
Appearance, scroll to Unvisited links and/or Visited links, pick the new colors and
click OK. Caution: this will change the color for all hyperlinks in all components of
LibreOffice; this may not be what you want.
In Writer and Calc (but not Draw or Impress), you can also change the Internet link
character style or define and apply new styles to selected links.

another part of the same document.

2) Click on theNavigator icon , or go to View > Navigator on the main menu bar, or press
the F5 key to open the Navigator dialog.
3) Click the triangle to right of the Drag Mode icon and select Insert as Hyperlink (Figure
316). Note that the Drag Mode icon changes shape depending on the type of insert that
was previously selected. The default icon for Drag Mode is to show the Hyperlink icon .
4) Select the document from the drop down list at the bottom of the Navigator that contains
the item that you want to cross-reference.
5) In the Navigator list, select the item that you want to insert as a hyperlink.
6) Drag the item to where you want to insert the hyperlink in the document. The name of the
item is inserted in the document as an active hyperlink.
Figure 316: Inserting hyperlink using the Navigator
When using the Navigator to insert a hyperlink to an object such as a graphic, it is recommended
to have the hyperlink show a useful name, for example 2009 Sales Graph. You need to give such
objects useful names instead of leaving them as the default names, for example Graphics6, or you
will have to edit the name of the resulting link using the Hyperlink dialog, as described below.
