Step 5: In the url text window type the website that you want to link to in the following format: http:///www.mysite.com/ .

It is often easier to simply copy and paste the url from the site that you want to link to by visiting the specific page.

Step 6: Choose your target. For this example we are going to open in a new window so you need to click on the drop down window next to the target label and click on the 'open in new window' option.

Step 7: Click insert at the bottom left of the pop up window and the piece of text that you had previously highlighted should now appear as a link

Step 8: Save the article should now display the hyperlink ready to be clicked and opened
