Completing the Browse to Web Page section of the Insert Link dialog box

Use the Browse to Web Page section to insert a link to a web page on your website or on another website.

  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 the new page.

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

  2. Click the Browse button to browse to the file, or click the Choose button to use the file system to find the page you want to link.

    If you clicked the Browse button, you can copy and paste the web address instead of browsing to the page.

  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.

  4. 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 section anchor.

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

  5. Click OK.

    Contribute adds the link to your draft.
