Just like colors and style sheets, each destination has a name. You can give any name
you want to a destination. For example, if you have a destination for the URL
http://www.quark.com, you could name it "Quark Web Site."
Just as you can see a list of a project's colors in the Colors palette, you can see the list
of a project's destinations in the Hyperlinks palette. And just as you can apply a color
from the Colors palette, you can "apply" a destination to the selected text or item by
clicking that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks palette.
You can edit your list of destinations in the Hyperlinks dialog box (Edit menu). Note
that as with colors, a project's destination list can contain destinations that are not
actually used in the project.
If you prefer to create hyperlinks by selecting something and then entering a URL, you
can still do so in QuarkXPress. However, you should be aware that when you do so,
you are creating a destination, and that destination will be added to the project's list
of destinations and listed in the Hyperlinks palette.
Anchors
An anchor is simply a marker that you have attached to an object somewhere in the
layout. You can attach anchors to the following:
• A word, character, or string in a raster or HTML text box or in text on a path
• A picture box
• A particular area in an image map
• A particular cell in a table
• An empty box
• A line
In QuarkXPress, anchor indicators look like this: or .
Creating a destination
A destination contains a URL that a hyperlink can point to. To create a destination:
1
Choose Window > Hyperlinks. The Hyperlinks palette displays.
• To specify the URL manually, choose URL, and then either type the URL in the
URL field or use the Select button to create a path to a particular file. (Keep in
mind that you must make sure the path is still valid in the exported HTML page.)
You can choose from four common protocols using the drop-down menu next
to the URL field.
• To link to a different page in the same layout, choose Page from the Type field
and then choose a page from the Page drop-down menu.
• To link to a particular anchor in the same layout, choose Anchor from the Type
field and then choose an anchor from the Anchor drop-down menu.

Click OK. (If you are adding multiple destinations, press Shift while you click OK, and
the New Hyperlink dialog box will remain open.)
