For a

New Document

type hyperlink, specify whether to edit the newly

created document immediately or just create it (Edit later) and the

type of document to create (text, spreadsheet, etc.). For a presentation,

Edit now is the more likely choice. The Select path button opens a

directory picker.

The

Further settings

section in the bottom right part of the dialog is

common to all the hyperlink types, although some choices are more

relevant to some types of links.

• Set the value of Frame to determine how the hyperlink will open.

This applies to documents that open in a Web browser.

• Form specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button.

• Text specifies the text that will be visible to the user.

• Name is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will

be added as a NAME attribute in the HTML code behind the

hyperlink.

• Event button: this button will be activated to allow OOo to react

to events for which the user has written some code (macro). This

function is not covered in this book.

Editing hyperlinks

To edit a hyperlink, you can either click anywhere in the link text, or

position the cursor in the link text using the arrow keys, and then open

the Hyperlink dialog by clicking the Hyperlink icon on the Standard

toolbar or selecting Edit > Hyperlink from the menu bar.

To activate a hyperlink, that is, to open the URL in your default

browser, it is necessary to hold down the

Control

key while clicking on

the link. A tooltip is displayed reminding you to press the

Control

key

when the mouse pointer hovers over the hyperlink text.

Tip

If you need to edit several hyperlinks, you can leave the

Hyperlink dialog open until you have edited all of them. Be

sure to click Apply after each one. When you are finished,

click Close.
