Operation Manual

The toolbar at the top of the dialog contains the following tools:
• Apply button: click this button to apply the changes.
• Load, Save, and Select icons.
• Tools for drawing a hotspot shape: these tools work in exactly the same way as the
corresponding tools in the Drawing toolbar.
• Edit, Move, Insert, Delete Points: advanced editing tools to manipulate the shape of a
polygon hotspot. Choose the Edit Points tool to activate the other tools.
• Active icon: toggles the status of a selected hotspot between active and inactive.
• Macro: associates a macro with the hotspot instead of just associating a hyperlink.
• Properties: sets the hyperlink properties and adds the Name attribute to the hyperlink.

Below the toolbar, specify for the selected hotspot:
• Address: the address pointed to by the hyperlink. You can also point to an anchor in a
document; to do this, write the address in this format:
file:///<path>/document_name#anchor_name
• Text: type the text that you want to be displayed when the mouse pointer is moved over the
hotspot.
• Frame: where the target of the hyperlink will open: pick among _blank (opens in a new
browser window), _self (opens in the active browser window), _top or _parent.
Tip
The value _self for the target frame will usually work just fine. It is therefore not
recommended to use the other choices unless absolutely necessary.
