=Introduction=
The following steps can be used to open the cross-section files provided as part of the tutorial model in excel, allowing the user to easily visualise the section. The same process can be used to open geo-tagged images.<br>
=Method=
To setup hot-linking in MapInfo:
<ol>
<li>Select the layer you wish to create a hotlink for in the layer control and then click on the Hotlink Options button in the layer control, as shown below.

</li>
<li>Click the "'''Add'''" button.</li>
<li>Set the following options:
* Filename Expression - Source (the "source" attribute is the filename)
* Check the "File locations are relative to table location" (the filenames are relative to the table, not absolute paths e.g. C:\TUFLOW\model\xs\crosssection.csv)
* Activate hotlink on Labels & Objects (clicking on the object or an object label will trigger the hotlink)
* Check the "Save options to table metadata" (the hotlinking will be saved in the table, so this process doesn't need to be repeated for other MapInfo sessions)
<br>
These are shown in the image below.

<li> Click "'''Ok'''"</li>
<li>To utilise the hotlinking function, select the hotlink button from the toolbars</li>

<li>Click on one of the cross-sections (the mouse cursor should change when moved over an object with hotlinking enabled). The cross-section should open for viewing in Excel (see also this [[EXCEL_setting_default_chart | Excel tip]]).

</li>
</ol>
=Conclusion=
The cross-section files are now ready for input into TUFLOW. Please return to the tutorial where the next step is to <u>[[Tutorial_Module04_Archive#1D.2F2D_Links | define the 1d/2d connections]]</u>.
