Note: Outlook must first be setup to edit e-mail messages with
Microsoft Word before a hyperlink can be created in an e-mail.
From the body of an e-mail there are three ways to bring up the Insert
Hyperlink dialog box:
1. From the top menu, select "
Insert," then select "Hyper
link..." from the menu.
2. In the body of the e-mail, right click to bring up the context-sensitive menu. Select "Hyperlink..."
3. From the body of the e-mail, press Ctrl+K.
All three methods will bring up the Hyperlink dialog box.
The Hyperlink Dialog Box
The Hyperlink dialog box contains to two important fields:
Text to display - This is the text that the recipient of the e-mail can click on in order to follow the hyperlink.
Addr
ess - The address is the actual path that the hyperlink will follow to the document.
Note: If text is highlighted in the document before opening the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, then that text will automatically appear in the "
Text to display" field.
