Please remind me how to create a hyperlink. (The computers at the course had been temporarily disabled for getting hyperlinks to work). Thank you!

Hi Nicole

To create a hyperlink:

1. Select (highlight) the text you want to add the hyperlink to.

2. Right-click directly on top of the text you have selected - there should be a Hyperlink option in the menu that comes up on your screen.

3. The Insert Hyperlink dialogue box will appear on your screen. The text that the hyperlink will be attached to is displayed in the 'Text to display' area at the top.

4. Ensure you have the correct option selected from the left hand side of the dialogue box - for example, if you want the hyperlink to open a web page, make sure 'Existing File or Web Page' is selected on the left.

5. Enter the web page address in the 'Address' area at the bottom of the dialogue box (it is a good idea to copy and paste this in from your browser window to ensure that the address is correct).

6. Click OK. The hyperlink is now set up. (If you have created the hyperlink in PowerPoint, it will only work in slideshow view. In other applications, you should be able to click on it straight away to test it).

Hope this helps - Amanda
