Using hyperlinks

Hyperlinks let you dynamically cross-reference information within a document and between documents. WordPerfect allows you to activate hyperlinks within a document so that you can jump from one location to another. You can also navigate between hyperlinks to find the link you need.

You can change and reset the color of hypertext in a WordPerfect document.

You can also change other attributes of the hypertext style. For more information about text styles, see “Using text styles.”
