Using Hyperlinks and Bookmarks

Hyperlinks and bookmarks are used in documents that will be viewed onscreen, either
as HTML files or as Pages documents. You can add hyperlinks to jump to another page
or to open an email message or a webpage on the Internet. Use bookmarks to mark
passages in the document that you want to refer to as you work.

Linking to a Webpage

You can add a hyperlink that opens a webpage in your default web browser.

To add hypertext that opens a webpage:

1

Select the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink.

If you use text that starts with “www” or “http,” the text automatically becomes a
hyperlink. To turn off this feature, choose Pages > Preferences, click Auto-Correction,
and deselect “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” This setting is computer-
specific, so if the document is opened on a computer with a different setting, that
computer’s setting is used instead.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Link Inspector button, click Hyperlink, and then
select “Enable as a hyperlink.”

Choose Webpage from the Link To pop-up menu.
