How do you?

I'm sure this has been asked (many times) before but I can't see it. So apologies and I would be grateful if someone could explain how to
create a link which can be clicked on to go directly to a specific place on a large site ie a specific place on a map,
And for that link to read something other than the address.
Thanks

    Type the word(s) you want to be the link. Use your mouse to highlight the word(s).

    Click this icon createlink.gif

    Paste the web address that you want to link to.

    Thanks, so far, but you are dealing with someone who knows very little about this.
    I got as far as "click on the icon" whereupon i saw type and a selection, which one please.
    To paste a web address I presume you have to copy first.
    Whenever I tried to copy I was beeped!!

    What am I doing wrong - slowly please

  • You can do it manually as below, but it does take a little longer.

    Change the ( ) brackets I've used for [ ] square ones.

    (url=http://www.google.co.uk)Google(/url)

    with the changed brackets, gives you

    Google.

    Hope that makes sense to you.
