The Web wouldn't be the Web without links. SiteBuilder makes it easy to link text or an image to another page in your site, a different web site, an email address, or documents saved in your site. When a visitor clicks a link, he'll move to the destination you choose.

Here you'll learn how to link a word to another web site. Learn how to create other kinds of links.

Using the skills you learned in step 2, pick a word on your page and select it:

First double-click (click your mouse twice) inside the text box surrounding the word. The box border will change into a thick solid line surrounded by a dotted line.

Now click your mouse and drag it over the word you'd like to link.

Click the Link to... button on your toolbar.

This will open the Link dialog, which you'll use to set up your link.

Tip: Confused? Most dialogs include a Help button you can click for more information.

We're linking the text to another site, so in the first menu of the Link dialog, select Another Web Site.

In the second step, enter the web address of the other web site. For this example, let's link your word to the Yahoo! web site, at www.yahoo.com.

In the third step you can decide how you want the link to behave: When the user clicks the link, the other web site (in this case, the Yahoo! home page) can open in the same browser window or a new one. Let's open the link in the same window: Choose The same browser window.

Finally, in step 4, you'll see the text you chose to link. You can change this text by modifying the words that appear in this field with your keyboard. For this example, we'll change the word to Yahoo!

When you're ready to activate your link, click Create. (Go ahead and create the link now — you can always edit or remove it later!)

You can add other links to your text and images the same way. Learn more.
