Table Of Contents
Link Tab
The settings on this tab apply to the selected object(s) or selected text. Typically you use this tab to add
a link to an object on your web page (eg. a button or photo), or to some text, so that when a visitor to
your site clicks on the object/text, they are redirected to another page. You can add links to other pages
in your website, to a URL (web address) or even cause a pop-up window to appear.
You can also apply transition effects to links so that the page linked to (whether it's an external site or
one of the pages in your site) appears with the page transition that you select. Link transitions can only be
used when the link is opening a new page, and are disabled otherwise.
To add a link to just some of the words in a paragraph of text, go into the Text Tool
and drag over the text you want to link, to select it. Then setup the link in this tab.
The main section of this tab allows you to choose what should happen when the selected object or text is
clicked.
Link to web address
Enter a web or email address to link to that address. If you leave the "Correct address automatically"
checkbox selected, your address will be adjusted if required when you click OK or Apply
. For example, if you enter "www.Xara.com" it will correct it to "http://www.Xara.com/".
You can put an email address in the Link address field, in which case clicking the link will launch the
reader's email program with the To: field filled in. You can also optionally specify the subject line to be
used, add CC or BCC email addresses to be copied on the email and even specify the default body text
to be used. For example this sets the To email address and all four optional parameters:
yourname@wherever.com subject:Email from website cc:another@wherever.com
bcc:yetanother@wherever.com body:Auto-generated email
