Adding links to pages enhances the interactive experience for the visitor. By clicking their mouse on a link, visitors trigger an action that was predetermined by the web master, such as opening a new page or sending email. Links can be associated either with an entire text object, or with individual words or phrases. To draw attention to links, they are highlighted with specific color and font options defined in the Text Link Properties of the Page menu.
To add a link:
Open the text editor.
Select the word or phrase in the text editor
Press the Link button in the text tool bar.
Links from words or phrases have no effect, if the text object is converted to graphic.
If the entire text object is to serve as a link, then there is a quicker way:
If the text editor is currently open, close it by clicking elsewhere on the page.
Click the right mouse button over the text object to open the context menu.
Choose Link from the context menu.
Links from word or phrases take precedence over a link defined for the entire object. The object specific link affects only for those words or phrases that have no other explicit links defined.
