Inserting a jump menu

To insert a jump menu in your document, use the Jump Menu form object.

To create a jump menu:

1 Choose Insert > Form Object > Jump Menu.
The Insert Jump Menu dialog box appears.
2 If you want to create a selection prompt, type the prompt text in the Text field of the dialog box. Under Options, select the Select First Item After URL Change checkbox, then click the Plus (+) button to add a menu item.
3 In the Text field of the Insert Jump Menu dialog box, type the text you want to appear in the menu list.
4 In the When Selected, Go To URL field, select the file to open by doing either of the following:
Click Browse, then select the file to open.
Type the path of the file to open.
5 In the Open URLs In pop-up menu, select a location in which the file will open:
Select Main Window to open the file in the same window.
Select a frame in which the file will open.
Note: If the frame you want to target doesn't appear on the Open URLs In pop-up menu, close the Insert Jump Menu dialog box and name the frame. For information about naming a frame, see Setting frame properties.
6 To add a Go button instead of a menu selection prompt: Under Options, select the Insert Go Button After Menu option.
7 To add additional menu items, click the Plus (+) button and repeat steps 3 through 6 of this procedure.
8 Click OK.
