Just the other day I discovered a 'feature' in NWP that I've never 
before been aware of...

Sometimes I insert a single-page PDF file into a NWP document. This file 
will then show up as inserted graphics. More times on such a single-page 
document I have one or more links (URLs) to webpages. - And so I also 
did the other day....

While checking if I have written everything correctly I happened to 
hover the cursor over one of the links and to my surprise the cursor 
suddenly became a 'finger' i.e. an active link?!? - To see what would 
happen I just clicked on it and wupti! the webpage corresponding to the 
link opened showing both what I've copied to the PDF file as well as 
everything else on that webpage. - And what better is - It also works in 
the final PDF booklet created as a NWP document and saved into PDF!

Links only work with single-page PDF files and not with multi-page PDF 
files. - If you try to insert a multi-page PDF into a NWP file, it is 
only the page 1 in the PDF file that is imported... So if you want a 
multi-page PDF to be imported into NWP you need to split the PDF file 
into single-page PDFs using Acrobat or a similar PDF file converter 
application.

I use this when I'm creating booklet files for my music library 
containing a front page, a small biography of the artist with one or 
more links, an album list and then followed by a list of the tracks in 
each album. And sometimes I also insert graphics on the pages with the 
track lists such as pictures from concerts etc.. So such a booklet can 
easily be as large as up to 120 pages for artists with whom I have many 
albums.

Cheers, Erik Richard
