Hyperlinks enhancements
Enhanced in InDesign CC
The major pain points around creating, editing, and managing hyperlinks have been addressed in this release of InDesign.
Creating hyperlinks simplified
Creating a hyperlink in InDesign is now incredibly simple. You can create a hyperlink with just a right-click gesture. Hyperlinks now have a
separate Hyperlink character style – blue and underlined. Also, InDesign now creates an affordance on non-text objects similar to the button
affordance – dotted line around the object frame.
To create a hyperlink:
1. Right-click the selected text or object, and then choose Hyperlinks > New Hyperlink. The New Hyperlink dialog box is displayed.
2. Specify an appropriate URL destination.
3. By default, InDesign applies the Hyperlink style to the selected text or object. For text, you can easily select a different style from the Style
drop-down. For a non-text object, InDesign applies a design time visual identifier to the links – dotted line around the object with the color
inherited from layer color.
Character style applied to text links
The character style is added to the document character style list. The style will print and export.
