    How Do You Create Hyperlinks?
    ... the bule-highlighted links that open up a new window when you click on it?

    Thanks.

    For an HTML document, the link text is surrounded with <A HREF="YourURL">link text goes here...</A>. For posting here on AMHD, use [url="YourURL"] YourText... and then close with a [/ url].

    I'm sure there are better ways, Pinkwater, but try this - it's what I do.

    Any web-page you are on (like this one) has an address. This is shown near the top of your window in the 'Navigation' Toolbar - and usually starts with "http://www." or "https://www." If you place your mouse pointer at the RH end of the address shown, then left-click once, you should see the whole address highlighted. Press CTRL+C to Copy it.

    Next, go to the place where you want to copy this link to (eg. an email or a PM) - place your cursor where you want it copied to, and then press CTRL+V to Paste it there.

    If you have a lot of these links to Paste, then it might be worth creating a 'Temp Links' Text file, and Copy+Pasting to there, first. Then, when you're ready, you can Copy +Paste from this text file to your chosen destination.

    This is a copy of the address of your original post above:-

    If you click on it, it should bring you back here.

    PS - Didn't mean to step on Scleros's toes, here... SOZ

    My toes are fine. Your response is as valid as any other. There's always more than one way to get from point A to point B.
