I selected a word in the document and then followed the instruction to go to Inspector and opened the Link, but Enable a hyperlink was greyed out. Also cannot type anyhing in Add Bookmark. Doyou know why and how to do it right? Thanks.
Did you make one word a bookmark and then try to link to it from another?
I am not sure what I am doing. I have to try harder to figure out. Thanks for reply.
One thing comes to mind.
You created a text box with the words 'Type to enter text' already created within it. You then selected the text and typed to remove the dummy text and create your words. You then selected your word to hyperlink. If you use this process the check box to enable the hyperlink is greyed out and you can't use it.
under this scenario what you have to do is, when the text box is created, select all the text and press DELETE. Once you press delete, the check box becomes active.
Hope this helps in some way.
Thank you Invictu and K T, for some reason, I tried again this morning and it worked. I did exactly what I did last night. It's strange. But yesterday, one of the preface pages must have a problem, because everytime I tried to preview the book on ipad, it crashed. The problem was solved after I checked page by page and found out which page was the problem page. I removed that page and now it's fine. Thanks for advice.
I tried your way and it worked. Thanks a lot.
Had this problem to. Fixed by:
1. Select text or text box that won't allow hyperlinks to be enabled
2. Choose Format --> Advanced --> uncheck Define as Placeholder Text
(with Placeholder Text Authoring enabled)
Seems I can now hyperlink any text in the box
Thank you for help. I will try this.
Thank you! This helped me! Now, the only thing that is still grayed out are bookmarks.
Once I'm at it, how do I apply style to hyperlinks? I know how to apply styles to text, but once I make it a hyperlink it goes back to the template styling and underlines it. I want to define the states of the hyperlink and I don't want it underlined.
And, one more thing, how do I make an image a hyperlink?
Thank you thank you thank you
brilliant, thank you!

I cannot select the "Enable a hyperlink" in ibooks author. Anybody knows why?
