Creating Links

You can create links from your page to local pages on your own computer or on your workplace's network, or to remote pages on the Internet.

You can quickly create a link by dragging and dropping links and bookmarks from other windows. For example, you can select a link from a web page, bookmark, or mail and news window and drag and drop it onto your page.

You can also use the Link Properties dialog box to create a link to another page:

Click to place the insertion point where you want to create a link, or select the text or image that you want to link to the anchor.

Click the Link button .

To display a list of all named anchors and headings in the page, click More Properties.

Use the Link Properties dialog box to define your link.

Link text: If you've already selected an image file or text before clicking the link icon, the selected text or file will be entered here. Otherwise, you must enter the text that you want to use as the link.

Link Location: Type the local path and filename or remote URL ofthe page you want to link to. If you're not sure of the path and filename or a local file, click Choose File to look for it on your hard disk or network. For remote URLs, you can copy the URL from the browser location field. Alternatively, you can select a named anchor or a heading in the current page that you want to link to.

Hint: To copy a link on a web page, you can also right-click (Control + Click on Macintosh) a link on a web page and choose Copy Link Location.
