Hi,

I have a text on each page of my document (with many pages) that says "Click here to go to homepage", and I want that to have a hyperlink to http://www.homepage.com. 

I try to make a shared destination, and to connect all instances of the sentence to the same hyperlink.But the link will only work and apply to the first sentence. 


Have I misunderstod the purpose of a shared destination? I it not possible to connect many words to the same address/link?


Btw, I use InDesign CS 5.0 for Mac.

Hi there,


Using shared destinations is quite straightforward, I don't understand where your problem resides, but here is how I did it (and it works):

I created a 3 pages test document and a character style called "Hyperlink" (optional). On the first page I inserted a text box with the text "Click here", selected the word "here" and from the "Type" menu I chose "Hyperlink & Cross-References"/ "New hyperlink". In the dialog box I set:

On the second page I inserted a text box, containing the text "Click here", selected the word "here" and from the "Type" menu I chose "Hyperlink & Cross-References"/ "New hyperlink". In the dialog box I set:

  • Link to: Shared destination
  • Destination: I selected my shared destination created above
  • Style: Hyperlink & checked (optional)

Same thing for page 3.

I saved the document and exported it to PDF, making sure that "Include Hyperlinks" is checked on the export dialog box.

Voilà!

Hope that helps.
