Creating a Hyperlink Using Drag and Drop

When working in the Book Editor, you can quickly create and apply hyperlinks using drag and drop. When links are created using this method, Author-it names the Hyperlink object using the target Topic's description.

To Create a Hyperlink Using Drag and Drop:

1. Select the source text in your current Topic.
2. In the Book Contents or Library Explorer, locate the Topic you want to link to. Drag and drop the target Topic onto the source text. A shortcut menu is displayed:
   • The Link Using submenu displays existing links to the target topic. Select a link from the list to insert the Hyperlink object.
   • Otherwise, choose Create Link Using and select a template from the submenu.
3. Save the changes to your Topic.
