• Once you highlight your text and click on the make link button, then a new window will come up, that you
can either enter your document (if you have uploaded it to the webpage) or you can enter in a url (ie.
www.franklinnh.org).
• IMPORTANT: Please remember to choose to open in new window or open in same window at this point in
time. That way when they click on the hyperlink it will open up the way you want it. If yo uthink they will
need to refer back to the main page, then leave it to open in a new window, but if not, then have it open
in same window.
16
17. Tid bits of Information

delimited value (excel documents)]- but I would recommend using
.pdf

formats, you will allow them to pick up a word document in the
program they have or an excel document in whatever
spreadsheet/database program that they utilize

completed your formatting, now you have to actually put it on the website, as
while you are working to create it, it is not actually on the site.
