Working with bookmarks and hyperlinks
CorelDRAW lets you create bookmarks and hyperlinks in your Web document. You can apply these to rollovers, bitmaps, and other objects.
Bookmarks
To create an internal link in an HTML file, you can assign a bookmark to text or to an object. You can then assign a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to an object that links to the bookmark. The object containing a URL has a hotspot, an area that activates a hyperlink when clicked in a browser.
Hyperlinks
Within a document, hyperlinks connect to any object that has been assigned a bookmark, or the hyperlink can connect to any document on the World Wide Web by using that document's URL. You can also set a hotspot that follows the outline of the object, or fills the object's bounding box.
CorelDRAW applies a crosshatch pattern to an object containing a hyperlink. You can change the color of the crosshatch pattern as well as its background fill.
After you create hyperlinks, you can display and verify them.
