TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
260 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2018
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.
I
f 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:
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.)
