Adding a link to your first web page (Macintosh)

After you create a web page, you'll want to provide links to other pages. Math 592 students will want to make a link to their syllabus. Suppose that your syllabus is a Word document. Follow the instructions to save it in PDF format.  Save it in the public_html folder that you created when you made your first web page with FrontPage or that you downloaded using Fetch.

Now return to the FrontPage Explorer window and pull down View, Refresh, or just press F5. FrontPage Explorer should now see that you have saved your syllabus as part of this web (although it doesn't appear in the image below, my fault). You may want to click on the folder icon to see the complete list of files in your public_html folder. Finally, open the page from which you would like to place the hyperlink, probably your home page. You can do this by selecting it on the left half of the FrontPage Explorer window, then double clicking the icon on the right side. The example below is for the file publish_netscape_mac.

In the FrontPage Editor window, you add a hyperlink by typing the text of the link, for example, Syllabus for Math 120, then selecting/highlighting this text, and then clicking on the icon. You will get a window like this, which asks what you want the link to point to.

Click Browse and get yourself to the syllabus file, then click OK.

If you want a link to an outside URL, type something like http://www.yahoo.com in the Page: window.
