do it pretty much the very same way - copy it from the address bar, paste in
it the message then press enter or add space after it to make it clickable.

Greetings -

I am a NEW user to Outlook. There is not one molecule in my body that is
intuitive to anything that Microsoft creates. But, if I labor long
enough,
or someone is patient with me, I can come to understand this stuff.

I am trying to write a simple little email message to my dad, and include
a
hyperlink to a website (these are sometimes called "links" or "hotlinks" -
I
don't get hung up on the jargon, but after reading through several
postings
at this forum it appears "hyperlink" is the preferred term).

At my work, we have different email software. In order to include a
hyperlink in an email message at work, I simply highlight the web address
(by
clicking on the address at the top of the window) CTRL C (to copy) go
to
the email message click where I want the insertion point CTRL V (to
paste).

The link is then displayed with a fancy color (and maybe it even "flashes"
if you hover your cursor over it). The fancy color is visible both to me
as
the sender and to the receipient.

OK - keeping in mind that I have the intelligence of a kindergartner when
it
comes to Outlook, can anyone explain how I include a hyperlink in an
Outlook
message?
