Popups


This is a hyperlink to a popup window

The climatic maps of your area should be used as rough guides only.

...and this is the popup window:

To make a hyperlinked popup:

  • insert a bookmark (type the name of the bookmark into the text, select it, then Insert Bookmark - the text appears in square brackets)
  • press Enter then type the text to go in the popup
  • select the the bookmark and the popup text and apply the cgPopup style to them

To create a hyperlink that will activate the popup:

  • select the text or image to be hyperlinked
  • from the Word menu choose Insert / Hyperlink
  • in the dialog choose Place in This Document
  • choose the bookmark you have just created and click OK

This is a popup showing an image

Show the image popup.

You can put an image in a hyperlinked popup. Just apply the cgPopup formatting as in the normal popup, but this time include an image.

Note that you can add a caption to an image in a popup, but it's not possible to use the cgCaption style as Word doesn't allow you to have one style within another. Instead type the caption, select it, then apply caption tags by choosing Format/Caption from the Tag Palette.

You can control the size of the popup window by creating a new blank line within the cgPopup formatting, then choosing Size/Small, Size/Medium, Size/Large or Size/Scrolling from the Tag Palette.

This is a popup containing formatting

Show the popup containing formatting.

If you want a popup containing formatting such as bullets or tables, it's not possible to use the cgPopup style as the formatting prevents the Word style from being applied properly.

Instead type the content of the popup, select it, then apply popup tags by choosing Content/Popup from the Tag Palette.

This popup has been set to size medium by choosing Size/Medium from the Tag Palette.
