Hyperlink from word in topic to glossary

Can I use insert hyperlink from a word on a topic page to glossary term? I am not a programmer and wonder if there is an easy way to do this. I'm using Robohelp 7.
Thanks.

Hi there
If you are thinking you might link to a term inside the Glossary tab or panel, the answer to that is no. It quite simply cannot be done.
The Glossary panel is simply a display method. We cannot link to terms inside it or link from terms in it to elsewhere.
What you can do is to run something called the "Glossary Hotspot Wizard". This is a wizard that will scan your topic content seeking matches to Glossary terms. Where a match is found, a DHTML Expanding Hotspot is created.
Cheers... Rick

  • How do I embed hyperlinks from Word 03?

    Hyperlinks from Word 03 do not work on pdf. The link is highlighted and underlined on pdf but doesn't work. Solution?

    Hello,
    I apologize for the delay in responding to your post. Are you viewing the converted PDF within the PDF viewer? If so, this is why the links appear not to work... it's a known issue with Acrobat.com's PDF preview function - we're working on it. If you open the PDF using Reader or Acrobat the links should work... let me know!
    Kind Regards,

  • Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Convert File Hyperlink From Word to PDF?

    Is there any method to convert file link (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\xx.xls) from Word 2000? I have read many related issues, but seems cannot get the final answer. Many of them only mention about URL hyperlink (eg. www.yahoo.com). Can anyone help?

    Do you mean that  Office XP and later version can automatically convert the file link? No need to manually create the link in Acrobat using the link tool?
    I will work this out to see whether ok or not.
    By the way, thank you, Michael Kazlow.

  • Why do imported hyperlinks from Word not show up in Indesign Hyperlinks panel?

    ID CS6 Windows 7
    I am able to copy and paste hyperlinked text from Word into ID and everything works ok-- when exported to PDF the links work fine.
    except now client wants to rename the text of the hyperlink- but there seems to be no way to even see what the URL destination is.
    None of the Word links show up in the Hyperlinks panel.
    I have to find out the URL and delete the original linked text and redo them.

    Um. Are you not talking about proper URLs? I kind of assumed you were :)
    Actually, hyperlinks *should* import just nicely into ID, not only plain URLs but also those with alternative text. But if they do, they'd show in the hyperlink panel ...
    Can you check if they are mentioned in the Hyperlink Destination list in your ID document? That would confirm or disprove they are actually present, at some level.

  • Hyperlinks from Word not correct in pdf when in web browser v7

    We have a table of contents that we we have in word, the word file has hyperlinks to individual PDF files.  After a new item is added to the table on contents, we distill the word to a pdf.  Users access the pdf from a web page.  Recently something changed and the pdf file of the table of contents is not linking to the correct pdf file. 

    Thanks for clarifying that. We hadnt given consideration to the use of signatures like thatr as you have mentioned.
    Can we distribute the document without the risk of losing the signature validity in the Word document ?
    Is it better to apply signatures to PDFs ?
    Or can we preserve the appearance of the signature in the Word document ?
    I wonder why just one of the signatures is not displaying when i use the Adobe menu to generate the PDF.
    Perhaps some setting in the job options is causing that? What might it be though ?

  • Random missing hyperlinks from Word to PDF

    Am using XP/Word2003/Acrobat 8.1
    When converting a 5 page doc file to pdf, not all of the hyperlinks are created. Have examined the doc and all links are ok and work from there. The links created in the PDF also work, just not all make the transition! Any clues?

    I don't think I use linked text boxes as you describe. The advice from Adobe was as follows:
    "Deselect **Embed Tags in PDF (Accessibility, Reflow)** in the PDFMaker Conversion settings, and then re-create the PDF file.
    I am sure you will not face that problem.
    For the Word document which contains hyperlinks within inside table of contents, reflow of tagging information has to be removed."
    I understood the 1st bit and that partially solved the problem. Further investigation by me showed that if a piece of text in a cell was preceded by a hard line break, then that would not produce a link in Acrobat. If I removed the preceding hard line break, then the link would be created OK. It's a work-around but better than nothing.

  • Hyperlinks from Word

    Hello,
    I'm importing a lot of Word files into InDesign CS5, on a Mac, and some of the hyperlinks come in fine while others don't show up at all. I noticed that a list generates in the hyperlinks box of the links that don't come in but the list is really long. At least 50 hyperlinks to go into to find the correct one. Is there something I am doing wrong that these links aren't all coming through?

    When you say they "don't show up," do you mean they aren't blue and underlined? That's entirely possible if you didn't bring in the Word styles when you placed the text. And I'm not suggesting that you should, just that that's a possible cause.
    But if they're showing up in the Hyperlinks panel, they should still be working hyperlinks, assuming that they were working in Word before the import. If you select one of them in your text, you'll see the corresponding link highlight in the Hyperlinks panel. And if you select one in the Hyperlinks panel, click on the triangle in the upper right corner of the panel and select Go To Source, it'll highlight the text for that link  in your document. You can select all the links in the Hyperlinks panel, go to the triangle menu and select Hyperlink Options, and apply a character style to them all at once to make them stand out however you want from the rest of your text.

  • Hyperlink from Word to PDF

    Is it possible to make a link from a Word file to a specific page or part of a page in a PDF? I'm using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows XP SP2. If it makes a difference, I've got Acrobat Pro 9 here. Haven't installed it yet.

  • Hyperlink from Word to bookmark within a pdf?

    I am trying to find out how to insert a hyperlink in a Word document that will bring the user to a specific point within a pdf file.
    Joe

    It's possible if you're linking to a PDF posted a web server. The you could add an open parameter to the URL like:
    http://internalwebsite.com/mydocument.pdf#page=3.

  • Hyperlinks from Word 13 to Acrobat

    I created a document with MS Word 13 and want to generate a PDF of it using Acrobat 9. All works fine, except that the hyperlinks in the MS Word document will not transfer over to PDF. How do I get Word or Acrobat configured so that hyperlinks automatically transfer over to PDF?

    For the newest WORD, you will need the newest Acrobat to transfer the tabs and hyperlinks. With AA9, you will have to add them manually. The alternative is to upgrade Acrobat or downgrade WORD.

  • Hyperlinks in word containing spaces are cut off in pdf generation

    We are using a mix of MS Word 2003, 2007 and 2010. All are experiencing the same problem when using Adobe products (Abobe Acrobat Pro 9, Adobe X, Adobe Elements) for the generation of a pdf document with respect to hyperlinks.
    When we have hyperlinks containing "spaces" they will get cut off in the resulting pdf document.
    Examples have formatting like this in Word
    http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master data forms/Master Data Project.xls
    When we convert this in Adobe it cuts off the link after encountering the first space, like this
    http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master (on the face of it the whole line looks like the one above, but the hyperlink shown when hovering over it has been cut like shown)
    In some cases the spaces are replaced with %20 (IE for example replaces spaces with these characters automatically). For those cases the conversion works just fine, and the whole line is maintained as a hyperlink also in the pdf
    http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master%20data%20forms/Master%20Data%20Project.xls (again, the line does not look like this in the pdf, but the link when hovering over it does)
    When we use the Save as function in Word 2007/2010 this replacement is done automatically. the links in the "word generated pdf" are not containing spaces,
    Is there any way to get this replacement done automatically when converting hyperlinks from Word to PDF? Repairing the links afterwards (which is possible, I know) is not a viable option when you have many such links in a word file.

    Sort answer: Use proper syntax and do not use the "space" character in any URL.
    "20" is hex for the space character (which is a "reserved" character in that it may have special meaning).
    If used out of context being "reserved" applications have to make something of a guess.
    Success is the %20. Sometimes success is not had.
    So, again, proper syntax - no "space" character in a URL (use the underscore).

  • Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

    I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
    Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
    Thank you.

    Please repost in the Acrobat forum.

  • Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

    First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks.  I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet.  In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work.  I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat.  Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links.  The links appear to work partially.  Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened.  Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears.  So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't.  When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once.  When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing.  After my response the file closes and the linked file opens.  However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened.  HELP!  I am at my wits end.  After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up.  This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information.  I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.

  • Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

    Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
    This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
    I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
    # HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
    # HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
    The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
    (for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
    (for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
    What should the value be for these two files?
    Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!

  • Hyperlinks in pdf's from Word

    Can I create pdfs from Word with active hyperlinks in standard Acrobat?

    Hi Todd,
    PDFMaker is a Windows-only feature and unfortunately, there is no Acrobat Standard for Mac, only Acrobat Professional. 
    However, the attached document was authored in Word 2011 for Mac.  I converted it to PDF via File > Print > PDF > Save as Adobe PDF (steps outlined here.).  The full URL was recognized by Acrobat after the conversion and is live.  The second line was a hyperlink setup in Word, but unfortunately was not recognized since that data was not included in the PDF conversion nor is it an obvious link.  That said, you could use the 'Link' tool in Acrobat after the conversion to re-create that hyperlink.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
