Links can be added to your email message that can provide access to websites, documents, specific locations within the message, and emails. To begin, you will open up your Outlook account, begin a new email message. To start composing your message on the. Ribbon, you will access the Insert tab. And the Links group is where you'll. Find the link button. When you click here, you'll choose the option Insert link. The insert hyperlink dialog box will open. This will allow you to perform the actions needed to insert the different links that we'll review. The first is existing file or web page. If you're interested in inserting a link. To a web page in the address. Bar here you will enter the email. Address or website that you plan to. Link to. And then click OK to. Insert that website link. That link will be placed at whatever. Insertion point you have within the body of your document. Recipients can click on this link and. It should take you directly to the. Website that's indicated here. The next option is you can link to an existing file from the same step. Here you'll choose the existing file or. Web page option and then you would locate the document in your folders that are on your PC. So I'm going to go to my. Folder where my documents are saved and. Then click on the document to select. It and click OK to insert. And you should now have a link that takes you directly to that existing. File within your email message. The next option is displaced in the document. This will provide you an opportunity to. Be able to navigate your way through. The document using a hyperlink that will. Link you to headings or BOOKMARKS that you've created within a document. So these are a list of headings. That are already within my email message. To insert a link I'll select the. Heading that I want to link to. And then click OK to apply. And now I have a link here will take me directly to that section within my message. The next option is to create a new document. Here you have the ability to create. A new document to insert within the email message. So you can choose the option to edit the new document now. And once you click OK, it'll open and generate a document that you can. Edit and add into the email message. The other option is to edit the new document later. So we'll insert a link that you. Can go back to later to insert. The last link option that we'll review. Is the email message. Here you can type in the email address of the person that you would like to email. Using this link I'm going to enter. The email message here. You can even enter a subject line and click OK. And users can use. This link to then begin generating an. Email message to that particular individual if they desire. These links can help you provide additional. Information to support the messages that you're. Sharing with your email communication and provide. Access to additional resources that can also be beneficial. Stay tuned for the next lesson where I will show you how to insert BOOKMARKS and messages. Thanks for watching.
