| 197327 | 2003-12-12 00:33:00 | Yes, you certainly can, Bob . In OE start a new message and ensure that the Format is Rich Text (HTML) . When you want to insert a hyperlink go to Insert>Hyperlink and paste or type your URL in . Now go to the Source tab at the bottom of the New Message window, find the URL that you just typed/pasted and you should find it listed twice . Replace the second instance of it with your desired text, eg Click Here . I would suggest that you practice with creating a message with just a link in it so that you can see what it looks like in the Source code because once you have typed out your message it is a little harder to read . If you need any more help just ask . :-) |

| 197328 | 2003-12-12 01:42:00 | Thanks - good stuff. And to test I've got it right, for those who saw *OT Christmas Cheer - Lost E Card* a few days ago, I tracked down the site of the inventor of that card (Jacqui Lawson) Christmas Cheer (http://www.jacquielawson.com) And for good measure, an emoticon B-) |

When you want to insert a > hyperlink go to Insert>Hyperlink and paste or type > your URL in.... Here is another way, it may be slightly quicker. New message, type "Click Here", highlight the "Click Here", go to Insert, click Hyperlink, paste or type the URL, click on OK. The "Click Here" has become a Hyperlink. If it is not quicker, it's different anyway. :D If you need any more help, don't ask me, that's all I know. :p WalOne Thanks for the Christmas Cheer link. Those really are very good eh! |

It is far more fun to make jobs as difficult as you possibly can. :p :D Thanks exLL, you're a gem. :-) Crikey, I didn't realise I was getting that rusty with OE. :O |

| 197331 | 2003-12-12 08:19:00 | exLL. Had a look at your "Click Here" for the American PC World & decided to put it on my desktop as a shortcut. Unfortuately this did not work as expected. I did not get an Icon, I got an advert instead advertising Samsung. How can I get rid of it? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 197332 | 2003-12-12 08:58:00 | The Source is Powerfull indeed . You can even wrangle the source in word Doc's among other esoteric stuff . If you can see why the formatting wont change or something, its as easy as shift+F1 in Word 2003 . Altho I'm not familiar with previous versions of office anymore . If in Doubt Always go to the Source . Neo did ;-) </chuckle> |

You must of clicked over it and creating a shortcut from that by mistake. To get rid of it just delete it from the desktop. To create a proper link, open up the site again and in IE go to File > Send > Shortcut to Desktop. |

| 197335 | 2003-12-12 09:42:00 | Shortcuts to websites can be placed on the Desktop by clicking on the icon in the Address Bar and dragging it onto the Desktop. You may need to resize your browser window slightly to access the Desktop. | tommy (2826) | ||

You may need to resize your > browser window slightly to access the Desktop . You shouldn't need to resize your browser window - just pause over the task-bar and all your windows should minimise so you can drop the link onto your desktop . Mike . |
