Creating a hyperlink from scratch
A hyperlink is a text string, box, or line that points to a particular destination. To create
a hyperlink and a destination at the same time:
1
Select the range of text or item you want to use as the hyperlink.
Click the New Hyperlink button in the Hyperlinks palette.
Choose Style > Hyperlink > New.
Display the context menu for the selected text or box and choose Hyperlink.
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 and then choose a page from
the Page drop-down menu.
To link to a particular anchor in the same layout, choose Anchor and then choose an
anchor from the Anchor drop-down menu.

Click OK.

defined in the Layout Properties dialog box (Layout > Layout Properties). You can
override the default appearance of individual hyperlinks by selecting the specific word(s)
in the hyperlink and applying the desired formatting (color, size, and font).
