| Hyperlinking
It is easy to make just about any object a hyperlink. Just select it, and right click. To use it to move to another page in the document, you simply pick the page from the flyout. To define a specific URL (web address) for it to take you to, just select Properties, then the Internet tab. Handling Text Here is where it gets a little tricky. All artistic text is converted to graphics in the web page. Paragraph text will be as well, unless you make it HTML Compatible. By doing so, you lose some of the flexibility of text formatting in Draw, but you retain the text as text, so that it can be edited in other sources (and indexed by search engines). You must have HTML Compatible text, in order to create hyperlinks within a string of text. To make text HTML compatible, just right click on it at select that option. Note that any graphics overlapping paragraph text prevents you from creating HTML Compatible text. It is also important to remember that text loads a lot faster than graphics do. Even HTML Compatible text will retain font settings, but you must realize that the viewer will only see that font if they have it installed on their computer. Otherwise, their default browser fonts are used. You can choose to use TrueDoc and download fonts with the page, but only Netscape (I think) supports this. |
