Cleaning Out Old Hyperlinks in InDesign

Looking for a good InDesign New Year's resolution? How about cleaning out your Hyperlinks panel and getting rid of all the old hyperlink destinations that may be cluttering up your documents and slowing you down? Just follow these steps from a recent InQuestion column by Sandee Cohen.

1) Choose Hyperlink Destination Options from the Hyperlinks panel menu.

2) Click the Edit button in the dialog box. If you have a very long list of destinations, there might be a long pause.

3) Use the Destination menu to move through your destinations to delete the ones you don’t want, or click the Delete All button to clear the list completely.

Bonus tip: You can also use the Hyperlink Destination Options dialog box toedit your destinations. So if a client changes his URL link, you don’t have to re-create all the hyperlinks in the document—just change the destination setting.
