The SEC EDGAR system only allows 3 types of hyperlinks, which are all supported by SEC Publisher:

 

1.     Internal hyperlink within a document. This type of hyperlink is often used in a Table of Contents to jump to a specific page within the same document.

2.     External hyperlink to a different document within the same filing. This type of hyperlink is often used to link to exhibits included in the filing.

3.     External hyperlink to a previous filing in the SEC archives.

 

To add hyperlinks in SEC Publisher, enable the Bottom Toolbars in the HTML Editor by clicking on View > Toolbars and if there's not already a checkmark in front of Show Bottom Toolbars, click on it to enable that option. The Link pulldown in the lower left corner of the Bottom Toolbars is used to add hyperlinks:

 

 

 

 

 

When a document is added to SEC Publisher, an Anchor is inserted to the top of each page, allowing hyperlinks to those Anchors to be quickly and easily added anywhere in the document to jump to the top of a specified page. Additionally, Insert > Anchor can be used to insert an anchor anywhere in the document, allowing hyperlinks to jump directly to a specified location within the document, not just to the top of the page.

 

To add an internal hyperlink within a document:

 

1.     To add a hyperlink to an existing Anchor at the top of a page, confirm the page number that the hyperlink will point to and continue to step 2 below. To insert an Anchor to a specific location within the document, navigate to that location, then click on Insert > Anchor to insert an Anchor to that location. This will also temporarily add the name of that Anchor to the Link pulldown in the Bottom Toolbars; however, while the Anchor will be saved in the document, the name of that Anchor will not be saved in the Link pulldown in the Bottom Toolbars when exiting the HTML Editor, so it's best to insert the Anchor and add the hyperlink during the same edit session.

2.     Select the text you want to link.

 

3.     Click on the Link pulldown in the bottom toolbars and select which page the hyperlink should jump to or select the name of the Anchor that was inserted above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To add an external hyperlink to a different document within the same filing:

 

1.     Select the text you want to link.

 

2.     Click on the Link pulldown in the Bottom Toolbars and select (external link).

3.     Click on the pulldown under Document Link and select the name of the document for the hyperlink.

 

 

 

 

To add an external hyperlink to a previous filing in the SEC archives:

 

1.     Select the text you want to link.

 

2.     Click on the Link pulldown in the Bottom Toolbars and select (external link).

3.     Select the URL Link radial button.

4.     The URL Link address will be pre-populated with "http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/". Add the rest of the URL, leaving the pre-populated portion as is, then click OK. If you get the following error, "Please save your project first and then re-do it again!", double-check to see if the hyperlink was actually added. If so, you can ignore this error.

 

 

 

 

 

Putting a HTML table around a paragraph can prevent the text from wrapping to the next line when you resize the browser. This is achieved using the ‘No Wrap’ property of a table. This is especially useful when the end of each sentence has a line break <br>.

 

You can also insert indentation to the paragraph by specifying the indentation value.

 

You can also create paragraph borders using rules. You also have the option to select different border widths and colors.

 

 

You can use this feature to specify paragraph indentation and spacing for text and tables.

 

 

 

1.     Indentation

 

a.     Left Indentation
Increase the left indent of an entire paragraph. Enter 0 to remove the indentation.

 

b.    Right Indentation
Increase the right indent of an entire paragraph. Enter 0 to remove the indentation.

 

c.     First Line
You will be able to create a first-line indent on a paragraph. Enter 0 to remove the indentation.

 

 

 

 

 

2.     Spacing

 

a.     Before

Paragraph spacing determines the amount of space above a paragraph. Enter pixel numbers to change spacing before paragraphs. Enter 0 to remove before paragraph spacing.

 

b.    After

Paragraph spacing determines the amount of space below a paragraph. Enter pixel numbers to change spacing after paragraphs. Enter 0 to remove after paragraph spacing.

 

c.     Line spacing

Line spacing determines the amount of vertical space between lines of text in a paragraph. By default, lines are single-spaced, meaning that the spacing accommodates the largest font in that line, plus a small amount of extra space. Enter pixel numbers to change line spacing. Enter 0 to remove line spacing.

 

d.    Word spacing

The word spacing property increases or decreases the white space between words. Enter pixel numbers to change word spacing. Enter 0 to remove word spacing.
