There are a number of "Special Links" that you can include in your presentation to cause it to perform specific actions. There are two types, "Bookmark links" and "Other types" described here. Bookmark links Bookmark Special Links are nothing more than Bookmarks really. You can probably easily include them using your favourite HTML Authoring tool. For example, using the FrontPage Editor to include the #WCEXIT special link (described below) you need to
Assuming that the text that you selected to become the Special Link was Click here to exit this presentation the generated HTML will be something like <A HREF=#WCEXIT>Click here to exit this presentation<\A> Similar mechanisms are available in other authoring tools, or you can edit the HTML directory using a text editor such as NotePad. The special links available are - #WCEXIT
#WCBACK
#WCFORWARD
#WCPRINT
#WCPAGESETUP
#WCSEARCH
#WCFAVORITES
#WCADDTOFAVORITES
#WCHISTORY
#WCSYSTEMCODE
Other Types The other type of special link simply allows you to "execute" an external program (or file, using the standard windows file associations). To execute an external program or file add the > sign at the start of the link target (or if you are editing the HTML directly with notepad you will have to use the "encoded version of the > which is %3e). You can put path information in front of the executable if you want to. Note that the external executable is expected to be in the same directory as the WebCompiler presentation that you have created, or if you've specified path information then in that directory below where the WebCompiler presentation is. For example, to execute a program called test.exe the actual HTML would be something like <A HREF=%3etest.exe>Click here to run the program> |
