Linking to a New E-Mail Message

Creating a hyperlink that opens a new e-mail message doesn't involve creating a HTML code fragment (as described in the previous section) and returns to the more typical process of using the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. To add an e-mail message link to the gray sidebar, follow these steps:

1.      On the home page of your walkthrough Web site, select the text Send me a message. in the third paragraph of the gray sidebar.

2.      Click Hyperlink on the Insert menu (or press Ctrl+K).

3.      Click the E-mail Address button in the Link To list.

4.      Enter your e-mail address in the E-mail Address box. Publisher automatically adds mailto: in front of your e-mail address, as shown in this figure.

5.      Click OK, and then save your Web publication.

Nice work! Now, return to Easy Web Design to wrap up the walkthrough.
