The New Hyperlink Wizard allows you to link an exhibit or other file anywhere in a transcript or annotation. Using this wizard is helpful, after you have used the Auto-Link Wizard or received files from your court reporter.
Linked files can be exhibit files on your computer, web addresses, and custom links to other document management programs. Linked exhibits or other files can be added to a transcript anywhere you want to link to them in the transcript. The document or file that you link to the transcript or annotation may be an existing document already linked or a new document. It may also be an exhibit. You can specify what type of document it is in the New Hyperlink Wizard.
Linked files display under Other Linked Documents in the Exhibits task pane of the Exhibits and Video pane, unless marked as an exhibit in the Exhibit Properties dialog box. See Editing exhibits.
For more information on linking files when annotating, see Creating annotations.
