Attaching hyperlinks to text You can select any amount of text — from one character to whole paragraphs or entire text objects — and use the URL Attachment pal- ette to make the text selection a hypertext link to a Web page, ftp address, or e-mail address. Hypertext styles    Many Web browsers display underlining or col- ors on hypertext. You can use the URL Attachment palette to apply styles and colors when you assign a URL to a text selection. Text in images    Making hypertext links in Canvas lets you design the equivalent of image maps that can be easily edited. To do this, place text on images (or vector objects), and then link the text to the appropriate URLs. Later, if you want to change the illustration, you can edit the text, images, and objects separately in the original Can- vas document. To create a hypertext link 1 Choose Object > Options > URL Tag to open the URL Attach- ment palette, if necessary. 2 Make a text selection in the Canvas document. The selected text appears highlighted. 3 Do one of the following to define a link for the selected text: •   Type a URL (including http, ftp, or mailto) or a Web page file name in the text box at the top of the palette. •   Use the palette’s menu to enter a URL. See “Using the URL palette’s menu” on page 14.184. •   Use the Browse button to select a Web page file. •   Select a page in the palette’s list. 4 To apply styles or color to the text, select the Link Styles check box. The text style buttons and a pop-up color palette appear. •   Click style buttons to apply text styles. •   Select a solid color ink from the color palette, or choose the Custom button to use the Color Editor.
