Are you trying to do this using "plain text"? If so, just do what you
are doing, type the URL

If in Rich Text or HTML, highlight the word "google", then using the
menubar
Click on Inserthyperlink... and insert http://www.google.com in the
box click OK
and you're done

The source code looks like
A href="http://www.google.com"google/A

I know how to insert a hyperlink in an email document. But when I
do so the
complete link shows. Is there a way to 'name' the link something
and have
only that 'name' appear in the document but when the user clicks on
it it
will take them to where the link 'points'?

For example, if I wanted to direct someone to www.google.com but
only have
the word "google" in blue so that when the reader clicked on
"google" it
would take them to the web site, how could I do that?

I'm running OE6.

Thanks for your help,

Mike
