Creating an e-mail link

An e-mail link opens a new 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.

Choose Insert > E-Mail Link.
In the Common panel of the Object palette, 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 mail should be addressed to.
4 Press OK.
