Hyperlinks for websites

[RobertK]

For the life of me, I cannot find a way to include hyperlinks for websites in TextMaker's database component. I have searched every help source I can find. Nothing. Plenty about cross-references. That is not what I need. I want to have a link to a website, as I could do in Access.

Thanks much.

Thank you for your post. TextMaker's database is a data source for mail merge rather than a relational database like Access, so it does not have a dedicated hyperlink field type. A field can hold the URL as plain text, but it is not stored as a clickable link the way it is in Access.

What you can do is store the address as text in a database field and then, when you merge it into a document, turn the inserted field into a hyperlink via Insert | Hyperlink. Could you tell us a bit more about what you want to achieve — a clickable link inside the merged TextMaker document, or a link that lives in the database itself? That will help us suggest the best approach.
