Hyperlinks
A. Hyperlink source B. List of hyperlinks
To create a hyperlink to a position in text or to a page with specific view settings, you first create a destination, and
then you create the hyperlink that points to that location.
Note: It isn’t necessary to create a destination for hyperlinks that jump to an unnamed page, and you can create a
hyperlink from a URL that you’ve typed in your document without first creating a destination.
InDesign supports three kinds of hyperlink destinations:
Document page
When you create a page destination, you can specify the zoom setting of the page being jumped to.
Text anchor
A text anchor is any selected text or insertion-point location in a document.
URL destination
A URL destination indicates the location of resources on the Internet, such as a web page, a movie,
or a PDF file. The name of a URL destination must be a valid URL address.
Hyperlink destinations do not appear in the Hyperlinks panel; they appear in the Destination section of the New
Hyperlink dialog box.
