Once selected, the “Edit Window” will pop up or what web designers like to call the WYSIWYG Editor (What You See Is What You Get). This window includes the content of your page and useful editing tools.

To add a link, highlight the words you would like to link and then select the “link” icon, which looks like a globe with a chain underneath.
