Working with Links 111
Setting a target for your page
You can specify where a linked page opens by creating a target for the link. For example, you can
indicate that your linked document opens in a new window, instead of opening in the current
window.
If you create a link in a document with frames, you can indicate which frame, or target, displays
the new content. For more information about creating targets for frames, see “Specifying a target
frame for a link” on page 123.
Note: You cannot control where an e-mail link opens. An e-mail link always launches an e-mail message in your
default e-mail application.
You can specify the target when you create the link (see “Setting a target for a new link” on
page 111) or you can edit an existing link to change or add the target (see “Setting a target for an
existing link” on page 112).
Setting a target for a new link
You can specify the target for a link when you create the link.
To create a new link with a target:
1 In your draft, create a link (see “Creating text and image links” on page 101).
2 In the Insert Link dialog box, click the Advanced button to expand the dialog box, if it is not
already expanded.
3 Select a target from the pop-up menu:
• Default opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames, the
linked page opens in the frame that contains the link.
• Entire window opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames,
the linked page fills the entire window, not just the frame that contains the link.
• New window opens the linked document in a new browser window, instead of the
current window.
