@mangozoid Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Apologies if this has already been covered (I have had a browse through the forums), but I am a recent Affinity Publisher user, and trying (painfully slowly it seems) to migrate from InDesign, and have come unstuck with hyperlink usage... I am trying to insert hyperlinks at the beginning/index of a document which jump to specific pages, which seems an easy ask, but... (1) When I open the hyperlinks tab/panel, none of the hyperlinks I've created (which are all 'jump to page x' types) seem to appear? Have I missed something? (2) How do I set up a hotkey which'll allow me to 'Insert Hyperlink' once I've selected the relevant text and/or box/graphic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (1) Did you select something, when you were inserting the hyperlink? Just to be sure. (2) Preferences -> Shortcuts -> Select Text from the lower pulldown and look for the entry to insert hyperlinks. There type in your desired shortcut.

@mangozoid Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, Joachim. Thanx for the 2nd one - that worked fine. Much appreciated. However, having set up all the hyperlinks on the Index page, when I click View > Studio > Hyperlinks, the tab that opens doesn't show any hyperlinks at all, even when I click on the index page and/or the pages being linked to... I expected it to show me a list of them all, so I can directly edit them if the destination page number, etc. might change? If I highlight the hyperlink when this tab is open, nothing happens or changes. The other thing I can't see is a way of directly deleting anchors - I started setting up a couple of anchors before I realised this wasn't necessary, but there's no easy way to delete them again...?

To make it easier for you: Menu Text -> Highlight Fields. Now you see the anchors. Click with the text cursor into the middle of the anchor and hit the delete button. For your other problems: Could you post the Publisher file here, so others can have a look as well?

@mangozoid Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 No problem -- you'll note that all the items on page 2 have hyperlinks attached to them... linking them to the relevant pages. But if you click on View > Studio > Hyperlinks, none of them show up...? There are (undeleted) anchors on pages 4 and 5 in the first 'title box'...

Joachim_L Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Your links are all there. But the text with the hyperlinks sits in a text frame coming from a Master Page. In the Layers panel for page 2 click the "Master" layer, click Detached from your toolbar and move the layer with the hyperlinks to the normal layers above. After that, click Finish in the toolbar.

@mangozoid Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thank you soo much, that seems to have fixed it -- what a very strange state of affairs... Can they not just add a more practical and straightforward <right-click on page/spread> and "Override Master" function that 'detaches' it, rather than just restricting us to Apply Master and Clear Master options? Bizarre. Thanks again for your patience and support - super helpful and very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
