Figure 225: Hyperlink dialog
• New Document – creates a hyperlink to a new document. Choose whether to edit the
newly created document immediately (Edit now) or just create it to edit later (Edit later).
Choose the type of document to create (text, spreadsheet, etc.). The Select path button
opens a file browser so that you can choose the directory for the new document.
Tips
To prevent LibreOffice from automatically turning website addresses (URLs) into
hyperlinks, go to Tools > AutoCorrect > Options and deselect the URL Recognition
checkbox.
To change the color of hyperlinks, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice >
Appearance, scroll to Unvisited links and/or Visited links, select the checkboxes,
pick the new colors and click OK. Caution: this will change the color for all hyperlinks
in all components of LibreOffice which may not be what you want.
The Further settings section on the Hyperlink dialog is common to all the hyperlink types, although
some choices are more relevant to some types of links.
• Frame – determines how the hyperlink will open. This applies to documents that open in a
Web browser.
• Form – specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button. See “Working with
hyperlink buttons” on page 191 for more information.
• Text – specifies the text that will be visible to the user.
• Name – applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as a NAME
attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.
Editing text hyperlinks
1) Select the hyperlink by dragging across the text, not clicking on it.
2) Go to Edit > Hyperlink on the main menu bar to open the Hyperlink dialog (Figure 225).
3) Make your editing changes from the available options, then click Apply when done. If you
need to edit several hyperlinks, click Apply after each one.
4) Click Close to close the Hyperlink dialog.
