    Hi

    I can insert a hyperlink easily enough but how do I do it behind body text rather than as a seperate line - like Pippa does? ???

    Making a phrase or sentence into a hyperlink

    The sentence that you want to form into a hyperlink needs to be placed inside some code. I will need to write it out as a rather wordy explanation because every time I try and give examples it thinks I am making a hyperlink!

    There are three parts

    • [li]Opening code[/li]
      [li]Your sentence[/li]
      [li]Closing code[/li]

    The opening and closing code go inside square brackets with your hyperlink phrase in between like this
    [opening code]my hyperlink[closing code]

    Here is the opening code:url=http://www.mychosenhyperlinksite.com

    So you need to open a square bracket [ and write url=
    then copy the url you want your link to point to and paste it next to url= then close the square bracket ]

    Next you write the sentence or phrase that you want to turn into the link

    Now all you need to do is write the closing code for your hyperlink which is a pair of square brackets again, but this time all you need to put inside them is a backslash followed by url like this /url

    Dont forget to put your opening code and your closing code inside square brackets

    Hope that helps
