View Full Version : Navigating by Hyper Links

I asked the question on how to "hyper link'' before and got many responses. The new question is "how do you hyper link back to where you started?''

I am really not good at this sort of thing, but the company would like to go paperless and this means hyperlinking everything.


:thanx:

If you are using hyperlinks in an environment like the Cove, just use the "back" button to return. If your hyperlink opened a new page, just close the page when you finish and you should be right back where you started.

Hope this helps.

I found that using the back button brings you back to the beginning. However, if I went into several documents, I had to close them out individually. Simple enough because they stack up at the bottom of the screen. :bonk:

This works well with web based system such as the Cove. If you want to hyperlink MS office documents, you may want to consider cross-linking - create a hyperlink for Document B in Document A and vice versa... or is it something else that you are asking?

yes, Atul was right.
If you are in a web page or MS office, write 'back', and hyperlink to required / mother/previous page. This is what I understand. I use this to come back to slide 'x' from slide 'x + 1delta x ' while the next slide were y. That is if some student asks me to say, explain a definition / or explanation for a term, I open up the subroutines "delta x's 1......n" . In normal course I would have encountered ' y ' slide after 'x', where from I do come back with back button on the tool bars. So Hyperlinked back enables you to skip pages.

I think you are right in that this is the desired result but in MS Office your "back" hyperlink is linked to a specific page or document. If the page you are looking at wasn't accessed from that link the hyperlink could take you to yet another page further from your original. It would be more benificial in these cases to open a new page then close it when you want to return to the page of origin. JMO.
