Introduction

This chapter describes how to save documents as web pages from

Writer, Calc, Draw and Impress.

Note

Cross references do not become hyperlinks in an HTML

document.

Inserting hyperlinks

When you type text (such as a website addresses or URL) that can be

used as a hyperlink, OOo formats it automatically, creating the

hyperlink and applying to the text a color and underlining. If this does

not happen, you can enable this feature using Tools > AutoCorrect >

Options and selecting URL Recognition.

Tips

If you do not want OOo to convert a specific URL to a hyperlink,

select Edit > Undo Insert from the menu bar or press

Control+Z

immediately after the formatting has been applied.

To change the color of hyperlinks, go to Tools > Options >

OpenOffice.org > Appearance, scroll to

Unvisited links

and/or

Visited links

, pick the new colors and click OK. Caution:

this will change the color for all hyperlinks in all components of

OpenOffice.org—this may not be what you want.

In Writer and Calc (but not Draw or Impress), you can also

change the

Internet link

character style or define and apply

new styles to selected links.

You can also insert and modify links using the Hyperlink dialog

(Figure 312). To display the dialog, click the Hyperlink icon on the

Standard toolbar or select Insert > Hyperlink from the menu bar. To

turn existing text into a link, highlight it before opening the Hyperlink

dialog.

On the left hand side, select one of the four types of hyperlinks:

• Internet: a web address, normally starting with http://

• Mail & News: for example an email address.

• Document: the hyperlink points to another document or to

another place in the presentation.

• New document: the hyperlink creates a new document.
