Create a Hyperlink

You can use hyperlinks in an electronic document to link to another place in the same document or to an entirely different document.

You can also create hyperlinks to other files by typing the full global address of documents (URL) and other resources on the World Wide Web in the designated area, or by typing any filename that includes a period (.).

Let's create a hyperlink by following these few basic steps:

• Type the text you want to appear as a link on the page
• Highlight the text
• Select the Insert a hyperlink into the document button

  The Insert Hyperlink window appears.

• Type the URL you would like to link to, e.g. http://www.abisource.com/, in the Select a target bookmark from the list dialog
• Select OK
• Hover mouse over link
• Tap a left mouse button twice in rapid succession

Note: You can also create a hyperlink by selecting Hyperlink from the Insert menu.
