Text link selects whole text object, not individual text

Gremlin1384 wrote on 8/11/2020, 8:34 PM

I'm using Xara Designer Pro X 17 and working to create links between sections in my document for use in creating a pdf. The idea is to use individual words as links to headings. Unfortunately, when I use the text tool to select a word or couple words and use the link button and select a heading, it creates a link from any text in the entire text object to the selected heading. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi

. . . . when I use the text tool to select a word or couple words and use the link button and select a heading . . . .

Once you have selected the word(s), right click them and select Web Properties from the pop-up and set the link there.

Thank you, but it still doesn't seem to be working. When I right-click the words, web properties doesn't show up as an option. Nor does anything happen if I use the keyboard shortcut for Web Properties. Any idea why that might be?

Hi

Did you select the word(s) - Text tool, double click word(s) or drag highlight before right clicking ?
