CorelDRAW

Working with bookmarks and hyperlinks

CorelDRAW lets you create bookmarks and hyperlinks in your Web document. You can apply these to rollovers, bitmaps, and other objects.

Bookmarks

To create an internal link in an HTML file, you can assign a bookmark to text or to an object. You can then assign a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to an object that links to the bookmark. The object containing a URL has a hotspot, an area that activates a hyperlink when clicked in a browser.

Hyperlinks

Within a document, you can connect a hyperlink to any object that has been assigned a bookmark, or to any document on the Web by using that document’s URL. You can also set a hotspot that follows the outline of the object, or fills the object’s bounding box. When working with text, you can assign a hyperlink to both artistic and paragraph text.

CorelDRAW applies a crosshatch pattern to an object containing a hyperlink. You can change the color of the crosshatch pattern as well as its background fill.

After you create hyperlinks, you can display and verify them.
