Using Hyperlinks

The easiest way to insert a hyperlink to another part of the same document is by using the Navigator:

1. Open the document containing the items you want to cross-reference.
2. Open the Navigator by clicking its icon, going to the Navigator deck in the Sidebar, choosing View → Navigator, or pressing  F5 .
3. Click the arrow next to the Drag Mode icon, and choose Insert as Hyperlink.
4. In the list at the bottom of the Navigator, select the document containing the item that you want to cross-reference.
5. In the Navigator list, select the item that you want to insert as a hyperlink.
6. Drag the item to where you want to insert the hyperlink in the document. The name of the item is inserted in the document as an active hyperlink.

You can also use the Hyperlink dialog to insert and modify hyperlinks within and between documents.
