3. Do either of the following:
Choose Reset Hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel menu.
To update hyperlinks to external documents, choose Update Hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel menu.
Go to a hyperlink source or anchor
To locate the source of a hyperlink or cross-reference, select the item you want to locate in the Hyperlinks panel. Choose Go To Source in
the Hyperlinks panel menu. The text or frame will be selected.
To locate the destination of a hyperlink or cross-reference, select the item you want to locate in the Hyperlinks panel. Choose Go To
Destination in the Hyperlinks panel menu.
If the item is a URL destination, InDesign starts or switches to your web browser to display the destination. If the item is a text anchor or page
destination, InDesign jumps to that location.
Editing hyperlinks imported from Word
When a Microsoft Word document with hyperlinks is imported into an InDesign document, you may notice a box or border around the hyperlink
URLs (such as www.adobe.com). The InDesign document inherits a blue swatch called Word_R0_G0_B255. The document also inherits a
character style called “Hyperlink” that underlines the text and applies the blue color.
To remove the box, in the Hyperlinks panel, double-click the hyperlink. Under Appearance, choose Invisible Rectangle from the Type menu, and
click OK.
You may also want to delete the imported swatch. While doing so, you can replace it with a different swatch. See Delete individual swatches.
Before you place the Word document in InDesign, you may want to remove the hyperlinks from the URLs in the Word document to avoid
inheriting this formatting. See your Word documentation. Another option is to create a character style named “Hyperlink” in the InDesign
document before you import. When you import the Word document, the InDesign style that has the same name is used by default.
