Adding Hyperlinks

Now let's add some hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are the clickable images or bits of text that connect you to another Web page.

1. Open your "Contact Me" page, if it's not already open, and highlight the word "programs".
    
   
    
   Let's add a hyperlink so that the word "programs" takes the visitor to your "Programs" page.
    
2. With the word "programs" still highlighted, click on the Hyperlink button in the Standard Toolbar. (It has an icon resembling a globe with two chain links.) This will bring up the Create Hyperlink window.
    
   
    
   Click on the file "programs.htm" and click OK.
    
3. FrontPage now displays the word "programs" as a clickable hyperlink. To verify this, click on the Preview view tab, and click on "programs". It should then take you to your "Programs" page.
    
    
    
4. You can also add a hyperlink that sends an e-mail message. Using the same method as above, highlight the phrase "contact me" and click on the Hyperlink button.
    
5. When the Create Hyperlink window appears, click on the Make a hyperlink that sends e-mail button. (It has an icon of an envelope.) 
    
   
    
   Type in your e-mail address and click OK.
    
6. FrontPage now displays the words "contact me" as a clickable hyperlink that will open a new e-mail message in the visitor's default e-mail program.
