Can't make hyperlinks in CS 5

I can't make hyperlinks in ID CS5. I highlight some text, select new hyperlink in the hyperlink panel, type in a url, cllick ok. The linked text shows up in the panel, but in the document it's still just text. It's not a link. What am I doing wrong?

If you have a full URL showing in your text, you can choose New Hyperlink from URL from the Hyperlink panel menu.
If you want an object or text to create a hyperlink to the URL, the method is different: You need to make a hyperlink destination first. On the Hyperlink panel, choose New Hyperlink Destination from the panel menu. Choose a URL destination. Then move to the object you want as your trigger and choose New Hyperlink.  Select the URL destination as the target.
If that's not working, try deleting your InDesign preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990

  • How can i make hyperlink to local file for dowloading

    How can I make hyperlink to a local file for downloading it, it seams that only www links work in web Ui.
    Thanks

    If we assume that you have a LabVIEW application running on your cRIO that is exposing some data through web services, there are a couple of possibilities.
    You can create a web service call that returns the log data. In order for the browser to treat this as a file, you must set the correct content type in the http header. To do this you can't use the default form of data output. Instead you must create an "httpRequestID" input to your web service VI. With this you can call "Write Response.vi" to give the log data and "Set HTTP Header.vi" to specify the type (text/text probably works for a log). You can look at "examples\comm\webservices\address book\FindContacts.vi" to see an example of calling these 2 VIs. Once you create that web service entry point, you can set that as the URL of the hyperlink control and it should work.
    Another option is to have the cRIO application write to a log file that is under the root of the web server running on the machine. (This is the same place the xap for your Web UI Builder application is put.) This file could then be served up through the web server just like any other file.
    With either of these solutions there may be concerns about the browser caching results rather than requesting new content each time. There are additional values that can be set in the http headers with the first solution that can help with this, but I think there is still some variation between browsers.

  • How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

    How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

  • InDesign to swf--can you make hyperlinks that don't open a new window?

    I am exporting an InDesign document to swf with interactive hyperlinks placed on an existing webpage. My problem is if you click on a hyperlink a new webpage opens up. Can I make the hyperlink work so that clicking on the link does not open up a new tab or window, but changes the page within the current window?

    I have tried that too and it didn´t work out. Attribute that controls where you open your hyperlink is called Target. And InDesign doesn´t let you define it. Let´s hope some improvement with this in future...

  • Can you make drop down menus and can you make hyperlinks to parts of a page

    I was just wondering if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb and if it is possible to make hyperlinks on the same page to another part of the page because the page is very long.

    if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb
    No. You have to make them yourself. Search this forum :

  • How can I make hyperlinks work in InCopy when I export to PDF without using InDesign?

    I created an InCopy document with hyperlinks linking to other InCopy documents. When I exported to PDF, these hyperlinks don't work. Is there any way I can make these hyperlinks work without using InDesign? Thanks.

    beer and no prepress schrieb:
    If it's for the web, why not export to JPEG?  Why PDF?
    Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
    And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

  • Can you make hyperlinks, bold, or italics in web mac mail?

    I can do all of that in mac mail from my desktop, but there does not seem to be a similar option on mac mail on the web.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Most web-based mail editors don't provide fancy formatting. If you know basic HTML you can add the codes before and after text to provide bold, italics, and hyperlinks. However, unless the recipient's mail app is configured to read HTML formatted mail the formatting may not appear as desired.

  • How can i make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink

    I want to make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink to another page in the site.
    example here: Genesis Bicycles - Easton PA
    I see how slideshows can be made in muse, but haven't seen where you can assign a hyperlink to each image. 
    I would like it to be html5 compatible.
    Thanks ,
    mark

    Hey Mac, thanks for the feedback. I did some research on composition widget, still not finding how I can use that to make a slide show like the one on www.Genesisbicycles.com home page , could you elaborate on how to or maybe link a tutorial for me.  It would be a big help.

  • Can I make a pdf with hyperlinks from Power Point using Acrobat ?

    I have a Power Point presentation which includes hyperlinks to websites. When I use the Power Point slide display they work.
    Can Acrobat make a pdf from Power Point which includes the hyperlinks ?
    Will the hyperlinks work when the pdf is displayed by Acrobat Reader?
    Thanks
    John
    newbie

    But I want the pages in the pdf shown spreadwise.
    In AcrobatPro you can set the initial document view of single pages as spreads via Page Layout: Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)

    how can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

    The program is InDesign… we need to cease links which will open the linked document in a separate window.  Also, the links must be maintained once a pdf is made and the files moved to another computer….

  • How to make hyperlinks the same colour

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to indesign and i'm slowly picking it up. In my excitement of getting my work done I started hyperlinking some links in my content. Only problem is that the colour is not consistent for the hyperlinks as I had to do them one by one and thus the colours are slighty off. Is there a way I can select all hyperlinks and make them the same colour?
    Thanks for any input.

    Go to the Swatches panel and in the menu click on "Add Unnamed Colours" (unless you already have them in your swatches menu).  Then rationalise those swatches by deleting them and replacing them with the one you want.  From now on use that swatch to make your hyperlink.  Better yet use a style for it.

  • Can't format Hyperlink Colors

    Hey,
    For some reason, the Format tab for my hyperlinks are grayed out and won't let me select a rollover color. I am selecting the text, selecting enable as hyperlink, deselecting Make hyperlinks active so I can edit the text, but when I go to the format tab to change the rollover colors, the options are grayed out.
    What could I be missing? This seems very straight forward.
    Thanks,
    Wes

    It also depends on what hyperlinks you are trying to format as to whether this will work in the first place though? Are you trying to format nav bar links? If so, this won't work, because you can't do it, so it will be grayed out. You can't format the nav bar templates. If you want to do this, go to Inspector and hide it and make your own that you can use hyperlink format.

  • How can a local Hyperlink be integrated into a Fixed Layout ePub

    How can I hyperlink within a book file a table of content (NOT the navigational from the iBook App)  and the index references.
    See screenshots.

    Yes, I had it all checked. I wonder why the CC does not show the Adobe Indesign CC 2014.1 as with Muse and Dreamweaver. It just shows Adobe Indesign CC 2014. How can I make sure the newer Version is really downloaded?

  • How can I make one slide that contains multiple slides?

    Hi, I want to make slideshow for presentation. And I want to know how can I make this slide.
    For example in this picture, have 1 main slide and 6 sub slides. I want to make slide like this, and all slides should be in one slide. And I want to zoom in to sub slide when I click and then zoom out when I click one more. And then second slide should be zoom in when I click and zoom out when I click again. And then slide 3 etc.
    I want to know how can I do this.

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. Duplicate the main or first slide numerous times - as many as you'll need for the show, which looks like 6 including the first "overview slide".
    2. You know have two choices - either use the Magic Move transition between the first slide and the next, which has the main box centre screen and enlarged proportionally.
    3. Or enlarge the slides so that the main point is central, but use hyperlinks to move between the slides. This also gives you the liberty of changing the order spontaneously should the situation demand. Using the main first slide, place an invisible box around each element and use a link to move to that slide which is enlarged. Then you have to decide if you will come back each time to slide 1 (the overview) by having the whole slide hyperlinked to slide 1, or the whole slide linked to the next slide. That way you don't have to go looking for the hyperlink area.
    The Magic Move effect will give your presentation a "Prezi" like effect, while the hyperlinked version I've described will just use gentle dissolves between each slide.
    I will sometimes use 3 because I want to encourage audience participation and let them choose where to go next... e.g., the various elements of a 747 wing assembly, or the interior of a large cruise ship, showing state rooms, dining, pool area, ballroom, etc.
