Making A Link To A Menu

Maybe I'm just throwing up my hands to early. I used Ulead before and it was pretty intuitive, I'm having no suck luck with Vegas.

I made my main page with just text and a custom background and I want to link the text to other menu pages. One " Chapters " page, and one " Info " page ( which is just contact info, web url etc ). If there is a way to make Text a Link, would someone please hook a newb up.

To make new pages and links to them, use Insert > Submenu and that will make a link from the page you made it from.

Okay, so I didnt make a " Submenu ", I made a page. What is the point of a page, or " Menu Page " as it showed up if you cant link it ? I'm a little confused at the logic. I would think any text I made should be " linkable ", or is Vegas DVD just that far behind ?

I sure do hate to seem quick to judge, but for the price theyre asking they sure do seem proud of software that, from what I've seen so far, is not near as intuitive or feature rich as others on the market.

It's a bit fiddly, but possible.

Insert submenu on the main page. This will create a second page, and a link on the Main Menu to that page.
Make that link Text only and change it to be the same font, size and colour as the rest of your text.

Where you had that same word in the original text, delete it and replace with the appropriate number of spaces.

Move the new link into the space where the word used to be. That word is now a link, and you can choose which highlighting style you want.

Complicated, but I may try it.
I have more rants but think I should start another topic.

Thanks guys;
