How do you create a link to a web site within an email with Windows Vista?

[aung2bo]

Are you using Microsoft Office Outlook or Outlook Express or Web Mail ?

For Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express , you copy the web site address and paste it in the email. You select the web site address in your outlook email and right click on the selection . Choose Hyperlink and paste the address on the address bar.


For Gmail , you can paste the address on the gmail . Select the address and click the Link button on the gmail and paste it on the box .

I hope It will help you.

Another way is with the good old copy and paste of the link into the body of your email by just using your mouse. If you are unsure about how to copy and paste using your mouse, here are some instructions as found on the following site. Copy & Paste

First off, you'll be glad to learn copying and pasting is easy. You can copy and paste just about anything your little heart desires: text, web pages, files, pictures, you name it. The idea behind the process is to take information from one place and deposit it into another.

For an example, let's pretend you're working in a word processor and need to copy and paste a section of your document into an e-mail. Here's how:

1. First, you'll need to select the text you wish to copy. You do this by putting your mouse cursor at the first character you want to copy and, holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the last character you need copied. As you drag, you'll notice everything gets highlighted (selected).

2. Next, right-click the selected area. Choose Copy from the menu that pops up (or you can use CTRL-C if you like keyboard shortcuts).

3. Finally, right-click the area in your e-mail document where you would like to insert the word processor text. Click Paste from the menu that pops up (For this, CTRL-V is your keyboard shortcut).

That's it. The steps are basically the same for any copy & paste procedure you need to do.

Thanks for the input folks. Some time ago I was trying to forward a link in an email and I right clicked something and got a dialog box. One of the choices was Create Hyper Link. I cannot remember where I did this. When I right click the areas you mention I do not see copy or create hyper link. I was able to get it done, but differently, in Gmail by the method suggested. It used to be that when you typed in a web or email address it automatically became a link. What happened to that feature? Windows Vista?
