I'm currently using RH 6, however I think this is the same for other versions as well. I'm looking to include web hyperlinks in the help file I'm updating, however I don't want to display the link, but rather display a word or phrase. ie: on the screen it might say EXPANDED HELP, but the link tied to this phrase would be www.gotohelp.com as an example.

Thanks for your help!

Jim

Hi Jim. It sounds like you need to set the tooltip of each link you create. When you create a link, there is a "Screen Tip Text" field. Whatever is typed in there appears as a popup when the end user hovers their mouse over the link.

I saw that, however what I'm trying to do is not display the URL of the website, but a more descriptive text. So when they click on the text, it goes to the website which will hold the web based help.
