Adding Hyperlinks

To add a hyperlink from the toolbar click the  icon.  The hyperlink dialog is shown below, 

 

 

The title field is the user friendly name you would attribute to a hyperlink such as "Yahoo!", "My Online Resume", or "IBM Home Page." The address field is the actual address of the hyperlink such as http://www.yahoo.com , http://www.resumes-online.com, or http://www.ibm.com.The address field doesn't have to be an internet address either. The hyperlink could be a file on your PC, another computer on your network or even an email address. Guidelines to assist you are provided in the Common Address Prefixes on the dialog. Below are some sample hyperlinks,

 

Example	Title	Address
Email address	Robert Hastings	mailto:rhastings@someisp.net
Document on your hard drive	IT Contractor's Manual	c:\docs\itmanual.doc
Internet address	Job Advice Website	http:\\www.jobs.com
Network directory	Friend's resumes	\\SharedPC\docs\resumes\

The key is having the correct prefix so that JobTabs knows where to begin looking.  A title is optional.  If one is not provided the address will be used as the title.
