The absolute easiest way to add a hyperlink to a Notebook file is to copy the URL from your browser and then paste it into a Notebook page.  It’s also simple to add a hyperlink as a attachment to your file by clicking on the attachments tab, clicking Insert, selecting Insert Hyperlink, and filling in the required information. Either of these methods work great when you want your hyperlink to be easily available while using a Notebook file.

To add a hyperlink to any object, first select the object by clicking on it. Make sure you are in mouse mode (Click on the arrow tool. If you are in text mode, you won’t be able to create a link until you switch to mouse mode.)

Select link from the dropdown menu.

Your options are Web page, Page in this file, File on this computer, and Current attachments. Don’t use the “file on this computer” option unless you’re positive that the Notebook file will never be used on a different computer or on a computer that is not attached to the network server.

You may also select how you want to activate the link.  Selecting Launch by clicking Corner Icon will add a small blue icon to the corner of the object. Selecting Launch by clicking Object will open the link just by clicking on the words or shape. If you later need to edit this object, you can get back to the dropdown menu by right clicking.
