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?
