How to Embed a Hyperlink in Entourage

Entourage users can embed links in their email messages.

Embedding links in Entourage messages requires putting HTML in the message. By default, Entourage is set to send only plain-text emails, which means any links sent via Entourage will not be clickable. In order to send clickable links in an email message, users must enable HTML composition within the preferences menu. It will take just a few minutes to enable HTML in Entourage. Once users enable it, they can use the text editor in it to make links in their email messages.

Instructions

1. Open the Entourage email application by double-clicking its icon in the applications folder.

2. Click the "Entourage" menu title in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

3. Click "Preferences."

4. Click the "Compose" option in the left sidebar under the "Mail & News Preferences" heading.

5. Check the box next to "Show HTML Formatting toolbar in the Message Composition window."

6. Select "HTML" from the "Mail Format" drop-down box.

7. Select "HTML" from the "News Format" drop-down box.

8. Click "OK."

9. Click the "New Message" button in the upper left corner of the window.

10. Fill out the "To" and "Subject" fields and type the message you want to send in the large "Message" box.

11. Highlight the words in which you want to embed a link.

12. Click the "Link" icon from the formatting toolbar. It looks like a chain link in front of a globe.

13. Type the URL in the box and press "Enter."
