What Hyperlinks Look Like

A solid underline identifies a standard hyperlink that displays the new topic in the current help window. For example, the last paragraph in Figure 3–5 shows a hyperlink of this type.

A dashed underline indicates a definition link, which displays a quick help window.

A graphic—an icon, for example—can also be a hyperlink. A grey open-cornered border identifies a graphic hyperlink. Figure 3–6 shows the different hyperlink formats that can be used in help topics.
