Setting up absolute link paths

You can specify absolute paths for all new links or for specific links. For information on creating links, see Linking files.

To make the path of a link absolute:

1. Select the link.
2. Do one of the following:
• Choose Relative from the URL pop-up menu in the Inspector, if it is checked. (Unchecked indicates the link is absolute.)
• Choose Edit from the URL pop-up menu in the Inspector. In the Edit URL dialog box, click Make Absolute, and then click OK.

You can also use the Edit URL dialog box to add URL parameters to the URL and make the values for URL parameters come from dynamic content data sources. (See Passing parameters between pages.)

To set a preference that makes all new links absolute:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. Expand General preferences and select URL Handling.
3. In the right pane, select Make New Links Absolute, and then click OK.

To specify a site setting that makes all new links absolute in the active site only:

1. Open a site.
2. Click the Site Settings button  on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings.
3. In the left pane, select URL Handling.
4. In the right pane, select Make New Links Absolute, and then click OK.
