Note: To prevent unintended changes, you can’t assign URLs to objects on locked layers, pages, or slides. You must unlock prior to making changes. Using the URL Attachment palette The URL Attachment palette is a small floating window that lets you do the following: •    attach URLs to objects and text, or remove an attached URL •    find objects that have a specified URL attached to them •    display the URL attached to a selected object or text •    apply colors and styles to hypertext •    designate selected text as searchable keywords •    specify the path to use for relative hyperlinks Creating hyperlinks Using the URL Attachment palette, you can create links to Web pages and other resources on the Internet. Your links can point to Web pages with http URLs; to files with ftp URLs; and to e-mail addresses with mailto URLs. You can also make hyperlinks to Web pages that are on a local hard disk or company intranet. URL formats All URLs start with text that identifies the type of resource located at the URL address. http:// A Web page URL starts with “http” (for Hypertext Trans- port Protocol), followed by the Internet address, path and name of a Web page file; e.g., http://www.deneba.com/index.html ftp:// A file’s URL can start with “ftp” (for File Transfer Protocol) followed by the Internet address, path and name of a file; e.g., ftp:// ftp.deneba.com/public/Guide.pdf mailto: An Internet e-mail URL starts with “mailto” followed by a username, @ symbol, and domain name; e.g., mailto:support@deneba.com Relative paths You can create hyperlinks to Web pages by typing relative paths, rather than complete URLs, in the URL Attachment palette. Canvas specifies links this way when you select local files by using the Browse button in the URL Attachment palette. See “Creat- ing links to other files” on page 14.186.
