Add or remove a link in text areas in a letter or memo

You can add links to a URL, an email or a phone number.

To add a link in a text section:

Open the document and select Edit (), then select Add link () and enter the following information in the Link Info tab:

  • Display Text - the selected text is the default Display text for the link. If you haven't selected text, enter the Display Text in this field.

  • Link Type - select a type from the drop-down list. Based on your selection, the dialog displays different sets of fields that you need to specify:

    Link type

    Fields

    Message Subject - enter a subject for the email message

In the Target tab, select where you want the link target to open. The default is in a new browser window.

You can also enter more information in the Advanced tab. Note that if you add a link to a file download, you can select the Force Download check box in this tab so the file download starts once the user selects the link.
