Inserting Hyperlinks

You can insert hyperlinks in two ways: as text or as a button. In both cases, the visible text can be different from the URL.

  1. Place the text cursor in the document at the point where you want to insert the hyperlink. Click the Hyperlink icon on the toolbar. The hyperlink is inserted as text.

  2. If you want to insert the hyperlink as a button, click and hold the Hyperlink icon and select As Button from the sub-menu.

Tip Icon If you wish to insert in a text a hyperlink that refers to Table 1, drag the entry Table 1 from the Navigator and drop it in the text. To do this, the Insert as Hyperlink drag mode must be selected in the Navigator.
