### 6.12.2 Activating links in converted index and list files

For links in FrameMaker-generated files to become active links in Word, the following default value must be in effect:

[WordOptions]

; UseHyperlinks = Yes (default) or No (ignore all hyperlinks)

UseHyperlinks=Yes

When UseHyperlinks=Yes, links in FrameMaker-generated files become active, clickable links in Word. See §6.11.3 Converting hypertext links to Word.

When UseHyperlinks=No, links in FrameMaker-generated files are converted to plain text.

Index files

To get active links for multiple-page entries in output from FrameMaker IX files, you must apply a character format to the page numbers; without the character format, multiple page references for an index entry might cause a crash when UseHyperlinks=Yes. See §5.5.3 Activating hypertext links in a converted index.

List files

Because links in generated list files are by nature external to the files they reference, you might have to provide additional settings to identify the files involved. See §6.11.5 Enabling interfile cross references and hypertext links and §6.12.4 Ensuring link targets are present in RTF output.
