Ages ago I was shown how to reduce three or four lines of a link into one or two words. I've completely forgotten and can't find the note I made. Can any kind soul help me please?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but it is how I do links.

Blue the www. address by right clicking on it .Right click on 'copy. Type 2 square brackets facing inwards. Right click and click on 'paste'. Type something like 'link here'. Type two square brackes facing the other way (to enclose the lot ----)

That's it. Preview first. Link should work in preview.

Leave a space between end of www. address and 'link here'

There are instructions under Links below, alongside the Smileys list BTW.

But yes, getting the spaces right is important - best to preview first!
