5.10.2 Making an entire paragraph into a hotspot

When you insert a marker in a paragraph to which no character formats have been applied, the entire paragraph becomes a link.

If a paragraph includes character formatting, but you want the entire paragraph to be the hotspot, assign property ParaLink to the paragraph format:

[HTMLParaStyles] or [HelpStyles] or [WordStyles]

; paragraph format = ParaLink

; ParaLink prevents any char formats in the named para format from

;  affecting the hotspot area for a link in that para.

This is especially handy for entries in converted FrameMaker-generated files. In generated files, entries that include a format change have their associated hypertext links truncated at the point of change. For example, in the TOC for your document you might have a definition like this:

<SomeFormat><$paranum> <Default Para Font><$paratext> <$pagenum>

The active portion of the link would be only the paragraph number. To make the entire text of all TOC entries work as hypertext links:

[HTMLParaStyles] or [HelpStyles] or [WordStyles]

*TOC = ParaLink
