Adding Links to Graphics

Making a graphic a link isn't all that different from creating a text link. The main difference is that the link and target fields on the Property Inspector are in a different area, so you might not see them at first glance. Additionally, you don't get the handy pop-up menu on the Link field, so you can't just reuse one of the links you've recently made.

To add a link to a graphic:

1.	Select the image in the document window.
2.	Using the Property Inspector ( Figure 7.17 ), click on the Point to File icon next to the Link field. An arrow will appear, and that arrow can be dragged into the Files panel. Drag it to the file you want, and release the mouse. Figure 7.17. For images, the Link and Target fields aren't where you might expect them to be on the Property Inspector.

Tips

• As mentioned above in "Creating Text Links," there are many ways to create links. Over time, you'll find the one that works best for you.

• It's very common that images in the top-left corner of a Web page link back to a site's home page; common enough that if you don't do this, your site's visitors may be confused . Unless there's a good reason why you shouldn't do this for a site, set this up as the default.

• You can make individual parts of an image link to different Web pages. That's done with image maps , and they're covered in Chapter 8.
