​​​​​Link to an Externa​l Website Page or Document

1. Place the cursor on the page where you want the link to appear.
   
2. Then, from the Ribbon bar, select Insert under Editing Tools. Select the From Address option in the dropdown menu under the Link button. A popup window titled Insert Hyperlink will appear where you can enter the label text and the full URL of the page or document you are linking to.
   
   
3. Type the label text (e.g., “Search Google”) in the Text to Display field and type the URL of the site in the Address field.
   Tip: Don​​’t forget the http:// in front of the URL (http://www.google.com).

Editin​​g Links​

After creating a link, you can update the destination without starting over.

1. Place the cursor somewhere in the link; do not select the entire link. The Link menu will appear on the Ribbon bar.
   
   
   
2. Update the URL by updating the link in the URL field. Text in the Description field will create the title tag, which is visible when a user hovers their mouse over the link and is used by some accessibility tools.
    

Edit a link label the same way you would edit normal text on the page.

Adding ​​a D​ocument

3. Select Upload File. The Add a document window will appear.

5. Change the Destination Library dropdown to Documents.
   
6. When you are finished, select OK. Another screen will open where you can enter a title for the document or change the filename.
   
7. When you are finished, select Save.
