Creating Links to OtherPagesYou can create links from your page to local pages on your owncomputer or on your workplace's network, or to remote pages on theInternet.

Tip: It's best to first save or publish your pagebefore you create links to other pages. This allows KompoZerto automatically use relative references for links once you createthem.

To create a link to anotherpage:

Click to place the insertion point where you want to create a link, or select the text or image that you want to link to the anchor. Click the Link button. You see the Link Properties dialog box. Define your link: Link text: If you've already selected an image file or text before clicking the Link button, the selected text or file will be entered here. Otherwise, you must enter the text that you want to use as the link. Link Location: Type the local path and filename or remote URL of the page you want to link to. If you're not sure of the path and filename for a local file, click Choose File to look for it on your hard disk or network. For remote URLs, you can copy the URL from the browser location field. Alternatively, you can select a named anchor or a heading in the current page that you want to link to. URL is relative to page location: If checked, KompoZer converts the URL to be relative to the page's location. This is especially useful if you plan to publish your pages to a web server so that others can view them. Using relative URLs allows you to keep all your linked files in the same place relative to each other, regardless of their location on your hard disk or a web server. Deselecting this option causes KompoZer to convert the URL to a full (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to pages on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard disk).

If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order to enable this checkbox.

To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit to display the Advanced Property Editor. Click OK. To test the link you just created, click the Browse button and then click the link to make sure it works as expected.Tip: You can copy a link quickly by clicking anddragging the link from another window and then dropping it onto yourpage. For example, you can click and drag a link from a web page,bookmark, or Mail window and drop it onto your page. You can alsoright-click (Control+click on Mac OS) a link on a web page and chooseCopy Link Location from the menu. Then you can paste the link locationinto the Link Location field in the Link Properties dialog box.
