Adding a Link to a Web Address
Using the Attachments window, you can add a web address link to any file type without having to insert a link into the document content. A reader can then access the link by opening the Attachments window.

- Click the attachments (paper clip) icon.
- Click Links & Attachments, and then click Attachments.

- In the Web Address box, type or copy and paste the web address.
- In the Display Text box, type a descriptive name for the link that will appear in the Attachments window.
- Click Add.

Note: You can come back to the Attachments window later to insert the link into the document. See Managing Attachments and Links for details.

Important: If you also insert this link into the document's body, clearing the show/hide check box does not hide the inserted link.
