Hyperlinks are also known as "links". They usually start with http:// and once you complete the address, the link will take you to the web page on the Internet. However, when typing correspondence, you may want to include an email address for your reader to click on and be taken to an email screen for an easier response. These hyperlinks usually start out with mailto:"email address" and the link will show as whatever text you choose to appear.

3. Look on left side of page and click on type of link you want to use
4. Fill in the blanks
