Publishing > Testing Your Project > Testing links and missing graphics

All links and graphics inserted in your projects incorporate dynamic validity checking features. Dead links are automatically highlighted in red and a popup explanation is displayed when you position the mouse over them if the mouseover hints feature is enabled in View > Program Options > General. Missing images are clearly indicated by a square graphic with a red X in the middle.

•	Hold down Ctrl and click on the link to visit the topic to which the link points.

•	In addition to topic links you can also use this feature to test Internet links and file links.

•	Use the Back button in the Quick Access Toolbar and the History button between the Back and Next buttons to return to the topic you were editing before testing the link.
