Impress Guide

The top part of the dialog box contains the following tools:
• Apply button: click this button to apply the changes.
• Load, Save, and Select icons.
• Tools for drawing a hotspot shape: these tools work in exactly the
same way as the corresponding tools in the Drawing toolbar
(described in Chapter 5).
• Edit, Move, Insert, Delete Points: advanced editing tools to
manipulate the shape of a polygon hotspot. Select the Edit Points
tool to activate the other tools.
• Active icon: toggles the status of the hotspot activating a
selected hotspot or deactivating it if active.
• Macro: associates a macro with the hotspot instead of just
associating an hyperlink.
• Properties: sets the hyperlink properties and adds the Name
attribute to the hyperlink.
Below the toolbar, specify for the selected hotspot:
• Address: the address pointed by the hyperlink. You can also point
to an anchor in a document such as a specific slide number; to do
this, write the address in this format:
file:///<path>/document_name#anchor_name
• Text: enter the text that will be displayed when the mouse is
moved over the hotspot.
• Frame: where the target of the hyperlink will open: pick among
_blank (opens in a new browser window), _self (opens in the
active browser window), _top or _parent.
Tip
The value _self for the target frame will work just fine in the vast
majority of the occasions. It is therefore not recommended to
use the other values unless absolutely necessary.
