Adding Hyperlinks to Your Forms
You can easily set up hyperlinks on your forms. A hyperlink is a
connection from a place on your form to a file or Web site. For example,
the person who fills out the form can link from a place on the form to
your company’s Web site.

toolbar or choose

in the View menu to switch to design
view.
2 Select an object on your form where you want to add a
hyperlink. You can add hyperlinks to rectangle objects, oval
objects, graphic objects, text objects and inside a text object
(embedded within the text).

Hyperlink...
in the Format menu.
