Question no 1:
I cannot find the lists with right and left links. (The video control)
Answer:
The control can be reached via the View menu. Click "Video Control" to display the control. You can also reach the video control by clicking the button with an eye placed to the left at the top on the screen. On the video control, under the left and right tabs, you can see the lists with right and left links.

Question no 2:
How do I play all left links? We are going to practice new words!
Answer:
Change the play mode so that your left links are displayed one after the other.
Do like this:
Select "Play" from the "Show" menu. This provides you with several different options.
Select "Play Left Links Only". When you click the video's play button all left links will be played one after the other.
When practising new words we recommend that you use the screen mode "Subtitle" and the function "One Link at the Time".
Read more in the checklist "Use Link lists" under the headings "Change play mode" and "Use subtitles with the setting One Link at the Time".
From Help in Link-it (F1) there is information about "Play mode" under the heading "Work with Links" and information about one link at the time under the heading "Show one Link at the Time".
Question no 3:
I have created right links in the text, but I would like to change them to left links so that they can be played with the mouse button instead. How do I do this?
Answer:
You can easily change the link type via "Cut" and "Paste" on the control:
1. Select the right link tab on the control to view your right links.
2. Click with the right mouse button on the right link you want to change to a left link to display a short-cut menu.
3. Select "Cut Out Link" from the short-cut menu.
4. Change tab to right link tab.
5. Click with the right mouse button in the grey link window in the control to display a short-cut menu.
6. Select "Paste Link" from the short-cut menu.
7. Continue in the same way until you have changed all the required links.
Question no 4:
I am creating a link in the text when a dialog appears with the following information: The selected text collides with another link. It will not be added to the current link." What am I doing wrong?
Answer:
You have not got any unlinked area between the previous link and the one you are trying to create.
There must be at least one unlinked sign between two links in the text. If the links are colliding it may depend on that you have linked a blank space by mistake in the beginning of the link or in the end of the previous one.
Make sure that you don't have a blank space as the first marked sign in the link you are trying to create. This will solve the problem.
If the problem is that there is a blank space in the end of the previous link you need to adjust the link so that it does not block the following ones. This is how you do it:
Mark the previous link in the control. Right click the link and select "Edit Link". The text will now be moved to a window where you can edit the link. Click the "Undo" button to the right in the window. A dialog appears. Select "Delete text from link".
Mark new text (without marking the blank space in the end of the link) and add the link.
You can now continue creating links.
Question no 5:
I am creating a link in the video when a dialog box appears with the following information:
"This video sequence collides with an already existing right link. Please select a new in point."
What am I doing wrong?
Answer:
The sequence in the video you are trying to link belongs to another link. Adjust your in or out point so that it does not collide with any previously created link.
E.g.
If you, for a previous link, have created an out point on image 233 and then try to create next link"s in point on the same image, the out point of the first link will be the same as the in point for the next one you are trying to create. Subsequently this means a collision.
The solution is to go move forward one image in the video (to no. 234) and select this one as the in point for the new link.
Read more about how you edit links in Link-it Help. From the "Info" menu, select Help/Work with Links/Edit Links/Edit Video of Link.
Tip 1:
Instead of adjusting the in point in your new link, you can adjust the out point in the previous link.
Tip 2:
A place in the video can only be linked once to a link type (e.g. right links). If you would like to link the same place in the video again you must select the other link type (left links).
Question no 6:
One of the links I created in the beginning of the text is wrong. How do I change it?
Answer:
Go to Create mode.
Mark the faulty link in the control.
Click the "Edit Link" button to move the link to a window where you can edit it.
Click the "Undo" button. A dialog appears on the screen.
Make the required selection.

Question no 7:
How do I link two words that are not placed next to each other in the text, to the same video sequence?
Answer:
Mark one of the words and place it in the editing window. Mark the other word and do the same.
Select in point and out point for the video sequence.
Question no 8:
What does the "plus" sign mean that sometimes is visible next to the words in the link list?
Answer:
When you link words that are not placed next to each other in the text, this is indicated with a plus sign like this: says (+); to John.
The plus sign indicates that you have linked two or several words that are not placed immediately after each other in the text.
