Creating bookmarks and links
Here's how bookmarks and
links work. First, assign a bookmark to the text or graphic object to
which you want the user to jump. Then select the text or graphic object
that the user will click to trigger the jump, linking it to the
bookmarked object.
To create a bookmark:
1. |
Display the Internet toolbar (see Figure 1) or the Internet tab of the Object Properties docker (see Figure 2).
|
2. |
With the Pick Tool, select the text object or image to which you want to assign the bookmark.
|
3. |
On the Internet toolbar (Figure 4) or the Internet tab of the Object Properties docker (Figure 5), select Bookmark from the Behavior drop-down list, type a name for the bookmark in the Internet Bookmark text box, and press  .
The bookmark is assigned to the object. Whenever you select that
object in the drawing window, the assigned bookmark name will be
displayed in the Internet Bookmark text box
|
To create a link to a bookmark:
-
Use the Pick Tool to select the trigger object, and—on the
Internet toolbar or the Object Properties docker—select URL as the
Behavior. Select the bookmark from the Internet Address drop-down list.
or
-
Right-click the trigger object and choose the bookmark from the Internet Links submenu (Figure 6).

If a CorelDraw
document contains more than a handful of bookmarks, you might want to
open the Internet Bookmarks Manager docker. To quickly jump to any
bookmark, click its name in the docker window and then click the Select
button.
|
To create a link to a Web page:
1. |
Using the Pick Tool, select the text or graphic object that—when clicked—will serve as the link's trigger.
|
2. |
Select URL as the Behavior in the Internet toolbar or the Object Properties docker.
|
3. |
Type the URL in the Internet Address text box (Figure 7) or select a recently used URL from the drop-down list.
|
To link specific text to a Web page:
1. |
Select the text frame and make sure that the Text > Make Text Web Compatible command is preceded by a checkmark.
|
2. |
Within the text frame, use the Text Tool to select the words that will serve as the link (Figure 8).
|
3. |
Select URL as the Behavior in the Internet toolbar or the Object Properties docker (Figure 7).
|
4. |
Type, paste, or select the URL in the Internet Address list box on the Internet toolbar or the Object Properties docker.
The selected text will be shown as underlined (Figure 9). The underlining indicates to anyone who views the page that the text is a clickable link.

Tip
Typing a
lengthy URL introduces the possibility of error. To make sure that the
URL is correct, visit the target Web page in your browser, select the
URL in the browser's Address box, copy it (
), and then paste it (
) into the Internet Address text box.
