You can work with links in several ways. You can insert links by choosing them from a list or you can type the link text and mark it as a link later.
When a link has been made, the link text cannot be edited. If the relevant property of the destination element is modified, all links to it will be updated automatically.
Like most functions in RevMan, there are multiple ways accessing the
Link function: you can use the Link button on the toolbar , the context
(or right-click ) menu, or the main menu: Edit > Insert Link.
To insert a link
Either:
place the cursor where you wish the link to appear, or
select a string of text that the link should replace.
Click the Link button.
The Link window opens.
Choose the type of resource to link to.
The relevant resources will be listed on the right. If you had selected
some text that matches a possible destination, such as "Figure
2", the type and destination will be pre-selected for you.
If linking to studies or references, choose between ordering the items chronologically (the default) or alphabetically.
Click the destination.
Or, if you are inserting a link to an internet resource, enter the
address ("http://" is optional), and the text that should
be used for the link.
Tip: You can select multiple items by holding the Ctrl key while
clicking the references.
