Using Drag and Drop to Set a Relationship

Author-it tries to make the setting of relationships between objects as simple as possible. There are many relationships in Author-it that you can set by dragging and dropping. For example, you can drag objects from the Library Explorer into the Contents of a Book, or from the Contents of a Book into a Hypertext Link object. You can also use drag and drop to embed topics, and to create Hypertext Links.

To Set Relationships Using Drag and Drop

1. Open the object you are setting a relationship from, and ensure the relationship property is visible - it's usually a panel that you drop other objects into.
2. From the Library Explorer or Book Contents, select the object you want to establish a relationship with.
3. Drag and drop that object into the relationship property of the object that you want to establish the relationship from. The related object's details are shown.
