Using SpeedLink
You can use SpeedLink to automatically create hyperlinks in a document, as long as SpeedLink and hyperlinks are activated. When you type text that begins with “www,” “ftp,” “http,” or “mailto,” WordPerfect marks that text as hypertext. You can also disable SpeedLink. For information about activating hyperlinks, see “Using hyperlinks.”
WordPerfect contains predefined SpeedLink shortcuts. When you type the shortcut in a document, WordPerfect automatically creates a hyperlink. You can also create, edit, and delete SpeedLink entries.
