Hyperlinking documents in PageMaker
page: 1 2 3
Create a link that goes to the same destination from every page.
For example, a link might go back to the home page (main or index page). Place the source text or image on a master page. Create the link once. Then apply the master page to every regular page in your document.
step4
Use Netscape Navigator to drag linked text.
With your PageMaker document open, select the text or graphic you'd like to be the source of your link (a).
Then go to the Netscape Navigator browser window, drag the linked text from the browser window onto the selected element in PageMaker, and drop it.
Note that the link has been added to your Hyperlinks palette (b). Now you can create other links from your document to this link.
step5
Use Netscape Navigator to bring the contents of a linked HTML page, as well as the link itself, into a PageMaker document.
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) before dragging in the link.
Be careful, though. If the HTML page is long and complex, you may be adding a lot of material to your PageMaker document.
Tip: When you drag the contents of an HTML page into PageMaker, the HTML file and its associated files get copied to your hard disk. Set where those files go under URL Information in the Online Preferences dialog box before you use Alt or Option to drag. Then it's easy to locate the new content, move files without breaking links, or delete files.
