You can put an email address in the Link address field, in which case clicking the link will
launch the reader's email program with the To: field filled in. You can also optionally
specify the subject line to be used, add CC or BCC email addresses to be copied on the
email and even specify the default body text to be used. For example this sets the To
email address and all four optional parameters:
yourname@wherever.com subject:Email from website cc:another@wherever.com
bcc:yetanother@wherever.com body:Auto-generated email

Technical note: Xara Designer Pro X encodes your email address to reduce the
likelihood that SPAM robots will find your email address from the web page. This requires
Javascript to be enabled in the browser (currently >95% of browsers).

Link to...
Select this option to link to another page in the current website, or if you are in a
presentation document, to link to the next or previous presentation step. The drop-down
list allows you to select which page or step to link to. You can also choose this option to
link an object to the top of the page - creating a rapid jump from the bottom of a long
page to the top.

TIP: If you have many pages in your website document, giving each one a name makes
it much easier to set up and maintain your page links, because the page list will show the
page names instead of just “Page 2”, “Page 3”, etc.

See the PAGE TAB (on page 474) section below for details of how to setup page

names, or edit the names in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY.

In addition to an entry for each page in your site, the dropdown list also contains the
special entries NEXT PAGE/PRESENTATION STEP, PREVIOUS PAGE/PRESENTATION STEP and
TOP OF PAGE .

Next/Previous page

Use these to add a link which leads to the next or previous page in your site. For the
purposes of such links, the page order is determined by the order of the pages as they
appear in Xara Designer Pro X. A “next” link on the last page links to the first page and a
“previous” link on the first page links to the last page.

Next/Previous presentation step
Use these to add a link which leads to the next or previous presentation step in your site,
if your website is a presentation document. The presentation order is also determined by
the order of the steps as they appear in Xara Designer Pro X, similarly to next/previous
page.
