Web Express provides an easy way to link to other pages and content (including uploaded PDFs and Word docs) on your site from the WYSIWYG editor.

2. Click the Link icon in the toolbar.

Link to Content on Your Site

Note: Content must be created before you can link to it. You need to upload a file, before you can link to it. See tutorial Upload Files for instructions on how to do so.

1. Select Internal path from the Link Type drop-down.
2. Search for the title of the content you want to link to by typing in the Link field. Once you start typing, the form will autocomplete and provide suggested content for you.
3. Select the content in the Link field that you want to link to.
4. Click OK.

Tip: If you've linked to an uploaded file, you may want to add a small icon next to the link indicating the type of file that the user will access.

Link to Anchor in the Text

1. First create the anchor on the page by placing your cursor in the Body content area where you would like to link to.
   
   

   Tip: Place anchors on the line above headings. If links are placed inline with headings, they can look like a link which is confusing to visitors.

2. Click the Anchor link icon (the flag) in the WYSIWG editor.
3. Name the link.
4. Click OK.

Link Text to an Anchor Link:

1. Highlight the text you want to link.
2. Press the Link icon in the toolbar.
3. Select Link to anchor in the text from the Link Type dropdown.
4. Select an anchor from either the By Anchor Name dropdown or By Element ID drop-down.
5. Click OK.

Related: See the Anchor/Jump Links tutorial to quickly create anchor links on a page.
