  • Click on the Link section in the dialog.
  • Fill in the following fields:

Title.   This is the link title that is placed in the My Links section.

URL.    Enter the URL of the link. The dialog already has http:// in it so you can just type the rest of the address, like www.mysite.com.

Select Anchor. This is only active if you have created an anchor. See the Anchors section.

Select File. Click on this button to bring up the Windows dialog. Click on the name of the file you want to link. Click OK.
