Open Directory Site Microsoft FrontPage Tutorials

Now we’ll link, using the Internet, to a great small college in Virginia.  Make sure that you can see your cursor below the sound link.  If you cannot see your curser below the sound link, click-below the sound link and see if the flashing cursor appears.  If it does not, tap the Enter key.

 

Now type-in something like:  Visit an awesome place.

Highlight - Visit an awesome place.  Click in front of Visit and awesome place, hold down the left mouse button and drag over the text you typed (just like with the sound), and click-on the link button again.

 

The Insert Hyperlink menu screen should then appear (similar to the one below).  We’ll need to make a couple of “adjustments” to this menu screen because we want to “browse” the internet to find our awesome site.

 

When the above screen appears first click-on the Hyperlink button at the top of the menu screen (see image at right and the arrow and text above). A Text Help will appear indicating that this button will “Browse to the web.” 

You will then be taken to the default page in your browser.  When Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape appears, type-in the following web address – in the Address area:

 

http://www.lynchburg.edu

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now tap the Enter key and you will “go” to the home web page for Lynchburg College. 

 

When you see the Lynchburg College web site click-on the Front Page button at the bottom of your screen – in the task bar.

 

 

This will take you back to FrontPage 2003 and the Insert Hyperlink menu screen (below).  Click-on the Browsed Pages button (see arrow below).

 

 

This “click” will change your menu screen to look something like the one above.  Notice that in the Address area, at the bottom of the menu screen, that it indicates the web address to which you browsed. 

 

To complete your hyperlink, click-on OK.  You will return to your web page and Visit an awesome place will be linked to Lynchburg College.  You’ll notice that the link to Visit an awesome place is now the default blue-underline for a hyperlink.
