Copying and Pasting Hyperlinks in Email:
Maybe you found a great educational website that you’d like to share with a colleague or maybe you just want to show your cousin in Montana a great internet game that someone just showed you. Here’s how to put that hyperlink into an email:
1) All web pages have an address. You can find the address in the “address bar” of Internet Explorer.
2) To get the address for this wesite into an email all I have to do is copy and paste it. RIGHT click on the address you want to copy and select “copy” from the list that appears.
3) Open up a new email, type your message and then paste the web address where ever you want to place it. You can paste it by either RIGHT clicking and then choosing “paste” from the list that appears or you could go to the edit menu and select “paste” from the menu or you could press the CTRL key and the letter “v” to paste. When you paste the address in, your cursor will appear at the end of the web address. Either press the “Space Bar” or press “Enter” and the address will automatically turn blue and become underlined. Congratulations, you have made a hyperlink.
