Create a basic link

A basic link links existing text on the current page to another page.

1. In the page area, select the text or image that you want to use as a link (that is, the text or image a visitor will click to go to another page). You can select text or images in any section of the page area.

2. In the map, right-click the destination page, then choose Link to this page. If you are displaying the outline, you can also right-click the page title in the outline area to create a link to the page.

Notes

• You can also create a basic link by selecting the text and choosing Link > Create Link Using > Selection, or right-clicking and choosing Link to a Page Using > Selection. Then, in the map or the outline, click the destination page.

• To test the link, click the link.

• You cannot create a basic link to the current page; clicking on such a link would have no effect. If you attempt to do this, the selection remains unchanged.

• You can create a link that shows the linked page’s title and, optionally, its summary.

• You can also divide a page and automatically create a link between the two pages.
