Linking documents and images is an important part of creating a webpage. To link a document or other webpage to your own, select Insert menu, the select Anchor/Link .

The Anchor/Link menu should now appear.

The Href box is where the address of the site that you wish to link into your document. The URL button allows you to change the site (URL) settings by bringing up the URL Builder menu. For now, type in http://www.cs.mun.ca/~brown/multi/welcome.html in the Href box. Then press OK . Now something like this should appear on your screen

<A HREF="http://www.cs.mun.ca/~brown/multi/welcome.html"><A>

In between the <A HREF="http://www.cs.mun.ca/~brown/multi/welcome.html> and the lt;/A>, you need to type in the name of your link. For this one, type in A Tour of St. John's.

Now your link should look like this:

<A HREF="http://www.cs.mun.ca/~brown/multi/welcome.html"> A Tour of St. John's </A> .

this is what your link should look like:

In the URL Builder menu, you can choose what type of acnhor to use by choosing a type from the Resource Type menu, or add the site name in the server box, plus many other features. If you are only going to be using web sites as your reference, you shouldn't worry too much about this menu.

Now let's talk about incorporating images into your webpage. To put an image into your page, select the Insert menu, the select Image/Figure . Now the Image/Figure menu should appear.

In the Src window, you can type in the path for your picture. In the Alt Text box, you can type in some alternate text for non graphical browsers that can't view the picture. You can align the image using the Alignment box. By clicking on the URL button, the URL Builder menu will come up once again.

in the Src box, type in the following, gfx/tattoo.gif . Then change the Alignment to Right. Now click on the Img button. Now something like this should be displayed:

<IMG SRC="gfx/tattoo.gif" ALIGN=right>

HERE is how the image will look on a page.
