I'd be grateful for any help in creating clickable links. Thanks!
"Convert to link" drops down a menu with 2 items: "link" and "ulink". * "link" is a link which has a target that is *inside* the document you are editing. * "ulink" is a link to an external URL. You need: [1] Convert your text to a "ulink", and not to a "link". After doing this the text is displayed and underlined in blue, but this is not sufficient. [2] Use the Attribute tab and replace placeholder value "???" of attribute "url" by the actual value (i.e. "http://www...";). --- PS: XXE allows to automate this special case (text in the document = target URL) by writing a macro-command.
