Completing the File on My Computer section of the Insert Link dialog box

Use the File on My Computer section to insert a link to a file saved on your computer.

  1. Enter link text in the Link text text box, if you did not select text or an image in your draft.

    This is the text a website visitor clicks to go to another page.

    Note: This text box is not available if you selected text or an image in the draft.

  2. Beside the File to link to text box, click the Browse button to find the file you want to link to, and then click Select (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) to close the dialog box.

  3. To set advanced options, click the Advanced button (Windows) or click the expander arrow in front of Advanced options (Mac OS), and then make any of the following changes:

    • Change the web address (URL) in the HREF text box.

      The Web Address (URL) text box always shows the full URL, and the HREF text box shows the URL that’s written in the page’s HTML. The HREF might be a different, usually shorter, version of the URL.

    • Select a target frame:

      Default
      opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames, the linked page opens in the frame that contains the link.

      Entire window
      opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames, the linked page fills the entire window, not just the frame that contains the link.

      New window
      opens the linked document in a new browser window, instead of the current window.

    • Select a section anchor.

      For more information about section anchors, see Link to a specific place in a page.

  4. Click OK.

    Contribute copies the file to create a page on your website. A link to the new page appears in your draft.
