Add a Clickable Link to an Email

You want to send someone an email with a link to a page on the web - but how to you do that? Follow these easy steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Open 2 internet windows, one for your email, and one for the webpage you want to share.
Step 2

Go to the webpage that you want to share.
Step 3

In the address bar, highlight the complete URL (website address).
Step 4

Right click, and choose copy. The website address is now on your clip board.
Step 5

Go back to your email page.
Step 6

Click down into the body of the email.
Step 7

Right click, and choose paste.
Step 8

The web page address will appear as an active, clickable link that your recipients can just click on to visit the page you choose.
Step 9

If you want to add the link into part of the text that the reader can click on, simply highlight the words that you want the link to be applied to, click hyperlink (usually an icon at the top that is a little link with the earth behind it) and a box will pop up. Paste the webpage address that you copied into the popup box and click enter.
Step 10

Either way, the link will be added to the email and all your reader has to do is click the link to visit the page you want them to see.
