Hi,

Is there anyway of adding links into cheat sheets?

I would like to do two things :-

Add links to external sites. In html this would be
<a href="http://www.google.com">Visit Google</a>

Add links to email addresses so that a user could select a help desk to register a question. mailto:a.n.body@hotmail.com

Many Thanks
Dave

It sounds like you want to have a button which when you press it will either open a web page or initiate e-mail delivery. Opening a URL is quite easy, Start by opening a cheat sheet in the cheat sheet editor by double clicking on it from within the package explorer. Select an item and click on the "Browse ..." button in the Command section at the lower right. Select the command Window/Open Browser and enter the url you want to open. You can leave the Browser Id, Name and Tooltip blank.

There is not a built in command for mailto. You could write one from scratch if you are comfortable working with commands but there is not one that already exists.
