Hi,
I have previously used NWP Menu /Insert /Hyperlink to insert quite a few clickable link into my text, which has been saved as a .doc. But although that text has gone blue and is underlined, how do I get to see what the link is?

How do I check that these links have the right url? I ask because when I select that text and go NWP Menu /Insert /Hyperlink then it inserts the latest text copied in to the link destination box, instead of telling me what the link url is!

But I want to ensure the link I'm about to insert somewhere else in this document is the same as the one I've previously used... So, help!

And sometimes, but not always, the text gives a pointing hand suggesting there is a link there, when I click on that text in both draft and page view, it just refuses to do anything with its normal refusal click. Shouldn't it go to my web browser and try to open the link? Which seems to be a separate query...

I look forward to your response.
Warm regards,
Cris

ps. I know that Nisus doesn't insert hyperlinks when I save it as a pdf. So can you please suggest how I might get my text hot-links to work. How does Nisus do this?

Right click (or control-click) on a link and choose "Edit Link..." from the contextual menu.

If nothing happens when you click the link, probably the link you entered is invalid or missing a critical part like "http://"

I believe we use Adobe's PDF authoring software, but offhand I'm not certain.
