Download - SoftMaker

You can also insert a link to another TextMaker document, allowing the document
to be opened automatically by clicking on the link.
Creating a link
To create a link, proceed as follows:
1. Select the text that is to be made into a link.
2. Invoke the command Format > Link.
3. Enter the target of the link in the URL or file name box; that is, enter the path
and name of the internet resource or file to which the selected text is to refer.
Links to web pages must be entered as “http://” followed by the address of the
page – for example, “http://www.softmaker.com/index.htm”.
4. Below, in the Bookmark field, you can specify, if desired, a position in the
target document to be opened (see below). However, this field is normally left
empty.
5. Confirm with OK.
The link is now created. You recognize this by a change in the color of the text,
which indicates the presence of a link.
Specifying a target position
The dialog described above gives you the option of specifying a position in the
target document. To do this, enter at Bookmark either the address of an anchor (for
HTML documents) or a bookmark (for TextMaker documents).
Example: If you enter “Report.tmd” at URL or file name and the name of a
bookmark in this document at Bookmark and then follow the link you have
created, the file REPORT.TMD will be opened and the text cursor will be positioned
at the specified bookmark.
Following links
To follow a link, position the text cursor at any character within the link text. Then
invoke the command Edit > Go to link. TextMaker responds by opening the linked
document.
