URL Links
1. Highlight the text you will like to have the link inserted.
2. Click on the Insert Link icon.
3. To link to just the URL, cut and paste it into the URL field and click OK.
PDF Links
1. Click Browse Server.
2. If the PDF has already been uploaded, find it and click on it. If not, you will click [+] Add A File and locate the file you would like to upload. When you have located the file, click Upload. Once your file has been uploaded to the server, click on it and click OK.
Target Links
To have your link open in a new window, click the Target tab in the link dialog box. The drop down menu will allow you to choose New Window.
Anchor Links
Anchors allow you to link to areas within any given page. This is especially useful for long pages where a fair bit of scrolling is required.
1. Click on the Insert/Edit Anchor button.
2. Give each anchor a name such as Top of Page.
3. Highlight the text you would like to link to your anchor and click Insert Link.
4. Under Link Type you will choose Anchor In The Text. Select the appropriate anchor from the list that appears and click OK.
You can also link to an anchor on a separate page. You will just want to include #ANCHORNAME on the end of your link URL (for example: /About-Us/Staff#Staff-Table).
Email Links
You can link text or pictures to an email where you can pre-populate an email address, subject and message body. You can use this for your email unsubscribes, contacting specific people or other items. The email will open in the visitors' mail email system (i.e. Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail etc.). Here is an example:
