• Document: the hyperlink points to another document or to

another place in the presentation.

• New document: the hyperlink creates a new document.

The top right part of the dialog box changes according to the choice

made for the hyperlink type. A full description of all the choices, and

their interactions, is beyond the scope of this chapter. Here is a

summary of the most common choices used in presentations.

For an

Internet

type hyperlink, choose the type of hyperlink (choose

between Web, FTP or Telnet), and enter the required web address

(URL).

For a

Mail and News

type hyperlink, specify whether it is a mail or

news link, the receiver address and for email, also the subject.

For a

Document

type hyperlink, specify the document path (the Open

File button opens a file browser); leave this blank if you want to link to

a target in the same presentation. Optionally specify the target in the

document (for example a specific slide). Click on the Target icon to

open the Navigator where you can select the target, or if you know the

name of the target, you can type it into the box.

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 box

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.

See “Working with hyperlink buttons” for more information.

• 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.
