Creating an e-mail link
An e-mail link opens a new blank message window (using the mail program
associated with the user’s browser) when clicked. In the e-mail message window,
the To field is automatically updated with the address specified in the e-mail link.
To create an e-mail link using the Insert E-Mail Link command:
1
In the Document window’s Design view, position the insertion point where
you want the e-mail link to appear, or select the text or image you want to
appear as the e-mail link. Then do one of the following:
•
Choose Insert > E-Mail Link.
•
In the Common category of the Objects panel, select Insert E-Mail Link.
2
In the Text field of the Insert E-Mail Link dialog box, type or edit the text to
appear in the document as an e-mail link.
3
In the E-Mail field, type the e-mail address that the mail should be addressed to.
4
Click OK.
To create an e-mail link using the Property inspector:
1
Select text or an image in the Document window’s Design view.
2
In the Link field of the Property inspector, type mailto: followed by an
e-mail address.
Do not type any spaces between the colon and the e-mail address. For example,
type
mailto:jdoe@macromedia2.com .
