Hyperlinks can link to an email address, another page of your website or to a page from an external website.

Hyperlinking internal or external webpages

Steps to create a hyperlink:

1. Highlight the text that you want a link attached to.
2. Select the 'Insert' option from the menu bar at the top of the editor window. A drop down menu will appear.
3. Select 'LINK..' to open 'INSERT LINK' dialog window (above image). Alternatively, select icon on the top left toolbar.
