Create hyperlinks to local files in Numbers
Authored by: bowlingb on Feb 08, '11 09:47:16AM
Here are a couple of items that came to mind when I read this hint. First, once you enable web sharing in the system preferences, there is a hyperlink right there to open up your browser of choice automatically. No need to manually launch your browser and type a localhost url. Second, enabling web sharing also enables your Sites folder in your user account(~myusername/Sites). Files stored in /Library/... may or may not be picked up by your backup program, depending on your settings. If it is in your user directory structure it is much more likely to get backed up. Rather than http://localhost/filename, you would use http://localhost/~myusername/filename to link the file into your spreadsheet.
