email links

[sprayer]

I know how to copy and paste a web address link to an email but on one that I did recently the address was so long that it took up half the page, but sometimes you see links with just the words *CLICK HERE* and it takes you to the page so how is this done ??

Click on the link at the bottom of this page that says tutorial. Or you could just click here!

thanx for the answer, but I must be missing something as I have tried emailing a link but cant get it to work...

Sorry, missed the bit about email :-)

I've just tested this in my email and it seems to work. Copy and paste the URL into the email then just highlight it and overtype with the word you want.

I coupldn't get CLICK HERE though as everytime I press the space bar, it thinks I have finished! It would have to be CLICK_HERE or something.

Crikey, it is so easy when you know how...

Paste the URL into you so you get a hyperlink (underlined in blue) then right click and choose 'Edit Hyperlink'. There is a box saying 'Text to Display' and you can type any words you like in it!!

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to answer my question, like you say its easy when you know how, but I just did'nt have a clue so I'm off now to have a practice ...

CheekyChops, type clickhere, then when you're finished go back and put the space in. But using the space bar while you're typing it out ends the link.

Like I said I must be missing something, just tried it and guess what , I cant get it to work, when I paste in the address it come up in violet colour not blue, highlight it, right click it, the box that appears does not say *edit hyperlink* it says PROPERTIES, if i click that a box appears saying TYPE then under that URL, I tried everything but it does'nt work
