Adding or Editing a Hyperlink

When choosing to add or edit a hyperlink, Biblos opens a window containing two main fields:

1. Hyperlink Text: In this field, enter the word or phrase that will be displayed in the document and associated with an address. If creating a new hyperlink, the text can be typed directly into this field. If a portion of the document was previously selected, Biblos automatically suggests that selection as the hyperlink text, which can still be modified.

2. Address (Full URL): In this field, enter the address the hyperlink should point to. The address can be a website URL starting with “http://” or “https://”, or an email address, properly prefixed with “mailto:”. It is important to enter a correct and complete address so the hyperlink functions without errors. If a portion of the document that constitutes an address was previously selected, Biblos automatically suggests that selection as the hyperlink address, which can still be modified.

Adding a new hyperlink

To add a hyperlink to a portion of text:

1. Select in the document the word, phrase, or address you want to turn into a hyperlink, or place the cursor where you want to insert a new hyperlink.

2. Open the command from the menu Insert/Hyperlinks/Add Hyperlink…

3. In the window that appears, verify or modify the Display Text, and type or modify the associated address.

4. Confirm with OK. The selected text or newly entered text will become an active hyperlink in the document.

Note: The Address field is the only required field. If a hyperlink is added without text, Biblos will automatically use the address as the hyperlink text.

Editing an existing hyperlink

To change the text or address of an existing hyperlink:

1. Place the cursor on the hyperlink within the document.

2. Open the command Insert/Hyperlinks/Edit Hyperlink…

3. In the window, modify the Display Text or the associated Address (URL) as needed.

4. Confirm with OK.

The hyperlink will be updated immediately.
