Re: 'Naming' a hyperlink

Copy the hyperlink with your cursor. Open the new message window ant type the word(s) you want to use for the link. Highlight these words with the cursor and then Insert | Hyperlink and Paste the link in the URL field | OK.. The word(s) you highlighted will become the link.

I know how to insert a hyperlink in an email document. But when I do so the complete link shows. Is there a way to 'name' the link something and have only that 'name' appear in the document but when the user clicks on it it will take them to where the link 'points'?

For example, if I wanted to direct someone to www.google.com but only have the word "google" in blue so that when the reader clicked on "google" it would take them to the web site, how could I do that?

I'm running OE6.

Thanks for your help,

Mike
