Automatic hyperlink

[larissae88689502]

Hi!

Im working on this document thats like a glossary, and i need that the therms have a hyperlink to a page with they definition. So every time a word "x" appear, i need it to be a hyperlink.
But i have 362 therms, and they appear a several times.

is there any way to automate this?

thanks!

Yes. Ask someone to write a script for you for a fee.

Hi Peter,

Even if I agree with you, there will often be (maybe always) a guy for posting such a script for free!

If, like you and others, I regularly post some "simple" codes, some scripters post complex ones. Not me since a long time.

The only thing I could answer here is about a script I wrote 4 years ago for a client!

Most guys are just interested for free help! … So my post is just for comment!

Can you not use cross references?

larissa probably can, but s/he wants to automate it because there are many items to link.

@FRIdNGE -- Well, Michel, if anyone wants to write a script for free, let them. The point is that you can't expect a free script.

I haven't used cross-references in quite a while - I'm not sure if there's a way you can do the cross-reference once - and then use the Grep function to find that same word and replace it with the formatted contents.

I'm not sure if that works - and it's Paddy's Day here in Ireland, so I'm not starting up InDesign today.
