Change Text Into a Link

The WYSIWYG editor makes it easy to transform text into a link to a web page or to a document with a web address.  For example, here is an introduction to the features of the WYSIWYG editor.

You can create a l ink for an internal page, an internal document, or an external document or web address.

To create a link:

1. Highlight the text where you want to embed the link.
2. Click the icon that looks like a geode, and a popup will appear.

3.  Select your link 

To link to an internal page on your GeoDocs website, from the tab labeled "Internal Page" click through your navigation until the page you want is highlighted.  

To link to an internal document, click the tab marked "Internal Document" and then navigate to highlight the file you want.

To link to an external page or document, click the tab marked "External Item" and paste the address (with http:// or https://) into the field.

4.  Select your target

       None = doesn't assign a property, so goes to the default behavior for your site or browser

       Blank = open link in new window (leaves your site open in the original window)

       Parent = only used in sites that use frames.  You probably won't use this.

       Self = open link in same window (navigate away from your website in the same window)

       Top= like 'parent' this is only used in sites with frames, so you probably won't use it.

5.  Click 'Select Link' at the bottom of the window, and voila, your text is now a link.

How to unlink text:

1. Highlight the text to be unlinked
2. Click on the icon that looks like a globe with a chain link in front.
