Drag and drop method

With two or more documents open in the Document Browser, the easiest way to attach hypertext link annotations to documents is the drag and drop method. This will not affect your original files. To link documents using this method:

  1. Ensure that all the documents you need are open in the Document Browser: the document that will contain the links, and the document(s) that it will link to. You may find it helpful to tile your documents on screen, so you can see them all.
  2. Click in the document which will contain the hyperlink annotation, to make that window active.
  3. Click the Drag button.
  4. Click anywhere in the active document and hold the mouse button down. Drag your mouse to the document you want to link to. A link will automatically be created when you let go.

Note: You can also drag and drop files from the Result List into a document open in the Document Browser. This will create a link opening at the beginning of the file.
