hyperlink

[Susan]

If I need to publish a form containing a long and
inscrutable hyperlink, is there a way to make it look more
friendly to the user? IE "Department Forms Site" vs.
http://BlahBlahBlah/on_and_on_and_on/EtcEtc/Etc/Etc?

Hi, Susan,

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog, the top item, "Text to display", is what
will appear in the document. It doesn't have to be the same as the URL
(address) in the "file or Web page name" box -- you can shorten it or change
it completely, without affecting where it will take you. It could even say
"Click here".

Wow! That worked great!
Thanks.

Note that this is what you usually see in Web pages: instead of the URL, you
see not only "Click here" but, say, "this page" or "a photo of me and my
dog" or whatever.
