Note: Open a web page with some text on it to do this tutorial. Any text will work for illustration purposes; but in practice the text works best if it makes sense, as in "Click here to email" or some similar wording.

1.  Highlight the text you wish to make into an email link.

2.  Press Ctrl K, or Insert, Hyperlink. The Create Hyperlinks Dialog Box opens.   (See hyperlink by highlighting, Step Four).

3.  Click the icon in the Create Hyperlinks Dialog Box that appears like an envelope. The Create Email Hyperlink Dialog Box appears.

4.  Type in the correct email address in the space provided, as in:

don@arkvalwebworks.com

5.  When the address has been checked for errors, click OK.

Note: That is all there is to inserting an email hyperlink with highlighted text. To insert an email hyperlink using a graphic image, see the next tutorial entitled Hyperlink with graphics.
