How do I create a hyperlink to another file?

How can I create a hyperlink to another file on my Mac?

Do you really mean "Hyperlink" as in a web page link to your file?
Or do you want a Mac OS X Alias icon placed in a different folder or on your desktop to a file?  Hold Command-Option keys while dragging the file to a new folder, will create an Alias.
Or perhaps a Unix Symbolic Link (similar to a Mac OS X Alias, only different).  This is done from a Terminal session using "ln -s /path/to/your/file /path/to/folder/where/symlink/to/be/placed"

  • HOW DO I CREATE A HYPERLINK TO A FILE?

    i have tried to do a hyper link to a file other than a website. one that i have saved on my computer such as a word document. i followed the directions and nothing happens once i have put in file and chosen the file. does it need to be in a certain folder to download? how would i do a hyperlink to an html file saved on my idisk?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you want the file to download immediately when the link is selected? If so first zip the file, Control-click on the file and select "compress file" in the menu. Next create your text link, select the text, go to the Inspector/Link/Link pane, click on Enable hyperlink" and select "File" from the Link To drop down menu.

  • How do I create working hyperlinks in Excel files?

    Hi there, I'm new to this so please don't over estimate my knowledge! I am trying to create an online file repository for a client. It is basically a website holding excel files that link to each other. The hyperlinks work on the website version but don't work on the blackberry bold test handset I'm working with. I was creating them in excel as web page hyperlinks. Can anyone please shed some light on why these don't work? Thanks Ali

    Pages '09 ≠ Pages 5.01.
    You have the bugs and reduced features of Pages 5, the version you recently installed.
    Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Use that instead.

  • How do I Create a Hyperlink to other text within same email?

    I want to use Mail to send out Newsletters.
    Content section would contain hyperlinked text to each section (or Heading in PC world) below.
    How do I create a hyperlink to text within the same email?
    It's not hard to do in the PC world, how about the Mac world?
    I bought the book "Mac OS X 10.5 (ISBN: 978-0-321-50263-6) and it does not help with this matter but I've also asked the question at www.ExplainMyBook.com because I thought the book "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard" might help me out.

    not possible AFAIK. Mail html capabilities are pretty rudimentary and this is one of the things it can't do. You might be able to achieve it if you create an html file with such internal anchors in a some html editor, then open that file in safari and embed it into an outgoing email from there. i couldn't make it to work though when I tried.
    You should probably stick with a different email client if you want things like that. I know Thunderbird can do it for example.

  • How does labview create a hyperlink in a web page?

    Hi
    I was wondering, how does labview create a hyperlink in a web page?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    What do you wish to do?
    The most primitive way is to generate a .HTML file.
    Type your HTML codes (Using string constant) and save it using "Write Chars To File.vi" using a filename with extension .html
    Hope I am addressing your question.
    Cheers!

    How would I check to see if the like works when I enable via the inspector pane
    If you enable hyperlinks when you click on the link link to the pdf file it will open a browser window and display the pdf file.
    I upload the pdf files to the server and link to them as if they were an external web page:
    That's been more reliable for me than linking to the file as Link To: A file and have iWeb upload the pdf file to the serve.

  • How can I create a hyperlink at the end of my video?

    Hi everyone-
    Is it possible to create a hyperlink (or clickable URL) at the end of my video in Premiere Pro? I'd like to be able to have some simple language to an end card reading, "To learn more, click here" with a hyperlink leading to a relevant website.
    (I know there are ways to do this in YouTube with Annotations, but this isn't my question. This video will not be hosted on YouTube.)
    Thanks!

    As noted in the other reply, this isn't done through the video editor. It's something that needs to be available from the hosting service for the video ... and handled through that end. The sort of command that says "at this point in the timeline clicking on video gets this reaction ... ". So check with whatever "service" will be hosting it for the details of how they handle this, and then you would add the text into your video at the appropriate moment in "time" ... but it would actually be the command system of the hosting service that would have the actionable command.
