The Keyword Link hot spot creates a link to the topics associated with the keyword contained in the hot spot or the specified keyword. A topic must be associated with the keyword before this hot spot can link to it. For example, you can create a link to the topics associated with the keyword MyKeyword. To associate a topic with a keyword, see Keyword and Invisible Keyword Hot Spots.

Keyword Link Dialog Box
Click the More button 
to access additional properties.
When the More button is clicked while using this dialog box in Word, you
may select the Hide Properties in Document checkbox to hide the
properties in your source document. To show the properties, uncheck the Hide
Properties in Document checkbox, or select Tools | Options in Word
and on the View tab, check the Hidden text checkbox.
Note: When the More button is clicked while using this dialog box in FrontPage and Dreamweaver, there is a Display as a button checkbox, not a Hide Properties in Document checkbox. When this checkbox is selected and the help target is built, the link appears as a button rather than a link.
If you are not using the toolbar, place the link text and secondary part in the corresponding HTML <Span> tag to format it with the D2HML style.
