Operation Manual

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.
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.
You can also use the Navigator to insert a hyperlink from one document (the source) to a specific
place in another document (the target). Open the Navigator in the target document and drag the
item to the position in the source document where you want the hyperlink to appear.

document
