Do one of the following:

• Locate the item you want to link to in the Targets column on the right, and drag it to

the source on the left. A black box surrounds the selected source, making it clear that
you are linking to the correct one.

If you drag a target that is not supported by the source, the black box does not appear.

• Hold down the Control key and click in the Target column next to the source for which

you want to create a link. Choose a target from the shortcut menu.

• Click to select a source and a target, then click the Connect button at the top of the

Connections tab.

You can change an existing connection using these same methods.

To establish connections using keyboard shortcuts

1

Press the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to scroll through the currently active list (sources
or targets) until you select the element you want to connect.

2

Press the Control key while using the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to scroll through
the other list until you highlight the entry you want to connect.

3

Press Return to make the connection.

If you select a source that already has a connection, pressing Return disconnects it. You
can also press the Option key while using the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to jump
to the top or bottom of the list.
