Linking to a page on your website or on another website

You can create a link to another page on your website or on another website. If the page you're linking to is not linked to any other pages--so you can't browse to it--Contribute enables you to use the file system to find the page.

Note: If the page you want to link to was recently published or is a draft, see Linking to a draft or a recently published page on your website.

To create a link to a page on your website or on another website:

1. In your draft, do one of the following to indicate where the link will appear:
   • Place the insertion point in the draft.
   • Select text in the draft.
   • Select an image in the draft.
2. Do one of the following to open the Insert Link dialog box:
   • Click the Link button in the toolbar, and then select Browse to Web Page.
   • Select Insert > Link > Browse to Web Page.
   • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and then select Insert Link.

   The Insert Link dialog box appears.

   
   
   

3. Click the Browse to Web Page button (Windows) or Browse button (Macintosh) at the top of the dialog box, if it is not already selected.
4. Complete the dialog box.

   For more information about options in the dialog box, see Completing the Browse to Web Page section of the Insert Link dialog box.

5. Click OK.

   Contribute adds the link to your draft.
