You will want to add links to other web pages or to e-mail addresses on your web page. Follow these directions if you are using Word to build and/or edit your page.

1. Open your document.
2. Click/tab to where you want your link.
3. Type the web address or e-mail address.
4. Save the document using SAVE AS HTML/WEB PAGE.
5. Highlight the web address or e-mail address.
6. Click the "Link" button/Pull down the INSERT HYPERLINK.
7. In the LINK TO FILE OR URL box, type in the web address or e-mail address.

Note: Remember to use the http:// prefix for web pages and the mailto: prefix for e-mail addresses.

Examples: http://www.pcc.edu, mailto:gknox.pcc.edu
 

8. Save the document.

1. Open your document.
2. Click/tab to where your want your graphic.
3. Click the "Image" button/Pull down the INSERT PICTURE. Choose the FROM FILE option. (Remember: No clip art in technical documents.)
4. Choose the directory and graphic file you want to insert. Click OK.

Note: Word and other MS applications often give a default path. This usually causes problems for users of Netscape or older browsers. To avoid this, make sure you upload your graphic file into the same directory on the web server as your HTML file.
 

5. Left click once on the picture to edit. (You can align, set text flow, resize, etc. as needed. To make the graphic a hyperlink, go to step 6 above.)
6. Save the document using SAVE AS HTML/WEB PAGE.

Note: Word and other MS applications often give a default file name, for example, "Image1.jpg". This may cause problems for users of Netscape or older browsers. You may want to change the graphic file name after uploading it to the server, and then change the image properties to reflect the new graphic file name.

There are two ways to give the viewer access to files (other than HTML or graphics) via your web page. You can create a download link or you can embed the file within the HTML. I do not recommend using Word to embed files within your web page. Follow these directions if you are using Word to build and/or edit your page and you want to link to a file for downloading.

1. Open your document.
2. Click/tab to where you want your link.
3. Type the text you want to download your file. You may want to use the file name.
4. Save the document using SAVE AS HTML/WEB PAGE.
5. Highlight text or file name used for the download.
6. Click the "Link" button/Pull down the INSERT HYPERLINK.
7. In the LINK TO FILE OR URL box, type in the file name.

Note: Word and other MS applications often give a default path. This usually causes problems for users of Netscape or older browsers. To avoid this, give your file a simple file name and use a Relative Link. Then make sure you upload your file into the same directory on the web server as your HTML file.

Example: report.doc
