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.
Using cross-references
To ensure that references update if you reword a heading, caption, or
other linked item, use automatic cross-references. See “Using
automatic cross-references” in Chapter 14 (Working with Fields) for
details.
Using bookmarks
Bookmarks are listed in the Navigator and can be accessed directly
from there with a single mouse click. In HTML documents, bookmarks
are converted to anchors that you can jump to by hyperlink. For more
about bookmarks, see “Using bookmarks” in Chapter 14 (Working with
Fields).
Working with hyperlinks
When you type text (such as a website address or URL) that can be
used as a hyperlink, and then type a space, OOo formats the URL
automatically, creating the hyperlink and applying to the text a color
and underlining. If this does not happen, you can enable this feature
using Tools > AutoCorrect > Options and selecting the URL
Recognition option.
Tip
If you do not want OOo to convert a specific URL to a hyperlink,
select Edit > Undo Insert from the menu bar or press
Control+Z immediately after the formatting has been applied.
To change the color of hyperlinks, go to Tools > Options >
OpenOffice.org > Appearance, scroll to Unvisited links and/or
Visited links , select those options, pick the new colors and click
OK. Caution: this will change the color for all hyperlinks in all
components of OpenOffice.org—this may not be what you want.
In Writer and Calc, you can also change the Internet link
character style or define and apply new styles to selected links.
Inserting hyperlinks
You can also insert and modify links using the Hyperlink dialog
(Figure 91). To display the dialog, click the Hyperlink icon on the
