Links

There are different types of links and different ways to create each. We have tried to create simple instructions for each type of link below:

1) **INTERNAL LINK to another page** that you have created in RWD - there are ** two ** ways to do this: 1A) INTERNAL LINK - where the link appears directly on the page - type the text that will take you to the link - highlight the word or words that you wish to become the hyperlink - choose the link icon in the toolbar - this will open a link window - type the name of the page, //exactly// as it appears in your files list in the 'Name' column 1B) INTERNAL LINK - where the link appears in the Navigation Sidebar - open the Navigation Sidebar - choose 'Add New' if you would like a new line at the END of the sidebar, OR, - choose 'Insert New Row' to add a new line above a selected link in the sidebar - fill in the 'Display Text' (what the users will see) and the 'Link To' information (the name of the page to which you wish to link)

2) **INTERNAL LINK to another file** within your RWD site (ie. a .doc, .pdf or Waterworks document) - drag the document you wish to link to your files list (or to a folder you've created) - open the page where you'd like the link to appear - drag the item to be linked from your files list to the page - the document will appear with a link symbol in front of it - you can rename the document if you wish, being careful not to delete the link symbol

3) **EXTERNAL LINK to another site** out on the web - there are ** two ** ways to do this: 3A) //Copying the link directly from a website// - open the website you wish to link - drag the URL from the website on to an RWD page - you can rename the link if you wish, being careful not to delete the link symbol 3B) //Adding a link to text you compose on an RWD page// - type the text that will take you to the link - highlight the word or words that you wish to become the hyperlink - choose the link icon in the toolbar - this will open a link window - copy the URL from the website and paste it into the 'Target URL' box in the link window - beside 'Window', choose 'Open in New Window'
