## Procedure

2. Select the insert/edit link icon in the HTML toolbar.
3. Enter information in each field.

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | URL | Enter the URL for the link. Copying and pasting is usually the easiest method. |
   | Text | Enter the text you want to display for the link. |
   | Target | Select the target window for the URL. For files, the None (use implicit) selection is generally the best choice. However, if you're linking to a complete web page, choose New window (_blank) so the browser opens the link in a new tab or window. |
