MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / September 2007Add a link to an Outlook 2003 email, shorter than the real URL
I have a web page at http://home.comcast.net/~southhadleyhistoricalsociety. I would like to send the link in an Outlook 2003 email. However, I would like the text in the email that leads to the URL to appear as "South Hadley Historical Society" rather than as the long URL above. I presume that when I learn how to do this, the "South Hadley Historical Society" text in the email will appear in a different color than the rest of the text in the message, showing that it is a valid link to http://home.comcast.net/"southhadleyhistoricalsociety. I will appreciate advice as to how to accomplish this. If using Word 2003 as the Outlook message editor, you can edit what appears for the actual link. Click Ctrl+K to insert the link, then edit what the link says.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

When I use "CTRL K" and then edit what appears for the actual link, it appears to have worked, changing "http://home.comcast.net/~southhadleyhistorial society" to "South Hadley Historical Society." I sent that to myself as a test. However, on the receiving end of the email, I get BOTH the long URL (http://home.comcast.net/~southhadleyhistoricalsociety) AND the "South Hadley Historical Society." I only want to get the latter, of course. Am I doing something wrong in my use of "CTRL K" and then editing the link? I will appreciate help. > If using Word 2003 as the Outlook message editor, you can edit what appears > for the actual link.
