There are some particulars about this process that may help you avoid frustration. If you have a web address in the text of a text frame, Adobe Reader will interpret this as a link, and clicking it will send you to the link. I don't know about other PDF readers that someone might have. Aside from using the actual link PDF tool in Scribus (the two footprints icon), you can convert a text frame into a linking object. Insert Link Annotation Make a frame, right-click on it to show the context menu, then select PDF Options > Annotation Properties. This brings up a dialog which by default will show Link -- using this you could link to somewhere else in the same PDF document. Another choice: External Link -- this will allow linking to another PDF on your computer. The choice: External Web-Link -- is the one you want for a web address. Just fill in the complete address, click Ok. Starting with a Text Frame Make a text frame, then right-click and select PDF Options > Is PDF Annotation. Now right-click again, and you will be able to select PDF Options > Annotation Properties. Here the default will be Text, so change that to External Web-Link, etc. With either of these methods, no text will show in this frame, so don't make the mistake of making a text frame with text, then converting to PDF Annotation and so on. If you want to have some word of a text frame seem to be clickable you need to make the text, then make the hyperlink frame on top of the words that you wish to appear to be clickable. Hope this is understandable. Greg
