Adding Hyperlinks to Graphics

Adding Hyperlinks to Graphics

Graphics, like text, can contain hyperlinks. If you set a default hyperlink for a graphic, the Web browser displays the hyperlink destination when the graphic is clicked. When creating a button that is linked to your home page, for example, you can define a default hyperlink that leads to a specific destination, instead of drawing a hotspot around the entire button.

Create a Hyperlink to an Existing Internal Web Page

Click the View menu, click Page, and then open the Web page you want to use.

Select the graphic you want to use.

Click the Insert Hyperlink button on the Standard toolbar.

Click Existing File Or Web Page.

Browse to select the target page. The URL for the designated page appears in the address box.

Click OK.

See Also See "Creating Hyperlinks to Files, Web Pages, and E-Mail Address " on page 58 for more information on creating hyperlinks. See "Working with Graphic Hotspots" on page 146 for information on creating hyperlink regions on a graphic.
