Text links in Lectora only work On Click so here is what you do. 1. Make it look like a link -blue underlined text.2. Create a transparent button about the size of the text and place it over the link text.3. Add an On Mouse Enter action to the button.4. Check the Render as Image property for the text box. Otherwise the text will shift vertically when published and will no longer align with the button.That's it. To expand just a bit on Ben's post, I built the same scheme in a title, but had some pages with more than one word to be highlighted. So I added another action (on mouse exit) to hide the text box. The result let the user mouse-over any of the highlighted words to see a definition, but only one text box was visible at a time.I found that if I used "transitions in and out" for the text boxes, and if I quickly moved from one highlighted word to the next, that the transitions didn't always work, I suppose because there were too many things going on at one time, so I settled on no transitions at all.Best,Dave
