We saw earlier that you can add images to a text document. In the video, we have added text and image as well. It is also possible to provide links and references to an audio / video file in a text document to provide a multimedia experience to the reader. We saw earlier that file links and hyper links can be added to a text document. A similar approach can be used to provide a hyper-link to the audio file or video file in your computer, to the document. Clicking on this link will access the audio/ video and play it.
We saw earlier that you can add images to a text document. In the video, we have added text and image as well. It is also possible to provide links and references to an audio / video file in a text document to provide a multimedia experience to the reader. There is an important difference between images and audio/video when integrating with a text document. While an image is embedded within the text document an audio or video file resides out of the text document in a file folder and is accessed to play. This is done by inserting a hyper-link to the audio file or video file in your computer, to the document. Clicking on this link will access the audio/ video and play it. While publishing on a web page though, it is possible for different formats to be displayed on a single page. We saw earlier that file links and hyper links can be added to a text document; we use the same approach to link an audio/ video.
To try this, we will open our 'Learning Digital Story Telling.odt' and insert a hyper-link to the audio interview with an expert on Digital Storytelling. We begin by creating a section called 'Interview with an expert on digital storytelling' and enter the text
"An interview with an expert on digital storytelling is available here". We will select the text 'here' and then select <u>Insert -> Hyperlink</u>. In the window that opens, click on the folder icon to specify the path (location) of the audio file.

The text 'here' is now displayed as a hyper-link. If you 'control-click' on this link (that is press control and simultaneously press the mouse left click), the link will play the audio file on your computer.
