Eh, I forgot that the links would be separated in an email anyway. But I
hope you got the idea.

The first thing I would do is ask the webmaster at the site you were
offered to write an article for if they want it in HTML or just a
standard text or Word document. The reason is that site authors more
often than not want to do the HTML (hyper text markup language) encoding
themselves so it will fit the look of their page.
It can be done in Word, but it's not exactly an easy task. And there is
a whole lot more to HTML than links.
But to answer your main question: links are defined with two main
elements; the URL, that is, the actual address for the link, and the
link text, that is the text shown for the link. And of course you can
use the URL for both
Here are two quick examples of links to GW-Micro; the first is a simple
link statement that will display the actual URL and the second being a
simple paragraph wherein a link to the GW-Micro website is seen as
"GW-Micro's website".
Note, HRef= defines the web address and the text between greater than
(>) and less than (<) defines the text to be displayed for the link.
<a href="http://www.gwmicro.com";>http://www.gwmicro.com</a>

I only used the line break </br> tag so that the link statement wouldn't
be broken by line-wrapping in your email client.
Hth,

Hey Guys,
I know this isn't Window Eyes related, so I hope anyone who can answer
this will do so off list. But I'm not sure where else to ask this, and
I have no idea how to do a Google search for the answer.
My question is this: Whenever I read stuff on the web, often I don't
see actuall links to sites, but rather I see a word or two that the
link is embedded in? hidden behind? I'm not even sure how to word it.
For example, instead of seeing the link:
www.bookshare.org
..
You might see an article that says something like:
Go to this link.
And the actual link would be in there. If you were to click on those
words, you'd go to the address. Window Eyes would actually say "link"
when it encounters these words. Wikipedia does this all the time.
So my question is, how is that done? I've had an offer to write an
article for a website, and the articles I've read there do this kind
of thing all the time. I want to be able to do the same. Can I do it
in MS Word? Or do I need a special program to do it. I've seen this
kind of thing in email messages as well, so I imagine there are email
editors that can do it; although I have not found anything in my
Windows Mail program that sounds like that. I'm not so concerned with
doing it in my email program if I can do it inMS Word though.
Thanks for any suggestions and info on this.
Evan
