Create Mailto Links

A hyperlink is a direct connection from the current location of the cursor to another location.
You can create a hyperlink to your email address. This is called a mailto link.

When you create a mailto link, it takes the visitor to a New Message box in the mail program of the browser.

The message is pre-addressed to the email address you designate in the tag.

Mailto Links

To create a mailto link:
  • Highlight the clickable text.
  • Click on the Insert Email Link button on the Objects Panel. 
  • The Insert Email Link  dialog box will appear.
