Renaming or removing a hyperlink destination

[visualhorizons]

I'm making a bunch of hyperlink destinations for my layout. Sometimes when I'm creating a hyperlink (assinging a hyperlink destination), I notice in the list of destinations that I've mis-named a destination. Can I change the name of a destination, and if I can't, can I remove it so I can create a new, correctly-named destination?

Thanks for any help.

From InDesign CS5 Help:

Edit or delete hyperlink destinations

1. Open the document in which the destination appears.
2. Choose Hyperlink Destination Options in the Hyperlinks panel menu.
3. For Destination, select the name of the destination you want to edit.
4. Do one of the following:

   • Click Edit, and then make changes to the destination as necessary.

   • Click Delete to remove the destination.

5. When you have finished editing or deleting destinations, click OK.

Ooh, I feel dumb for not looking there.

Thanks for your help.

I was having trouble deleting all my hyperlinks. I would delete all, but then when I went to create a new destination I would get: "another hyperlink with this name already exists" even though I couldn't see it anywhere. I solved the problem by going into window/interactive/bookmarks. Lo and behold my hyperlink was listed there. Once I deleted it I was able to create new hyperlinks.
