Sending A Link

[pussyfoot]

When sending a link to someone how do you change it to a highlighted word saying "click here" or something similar. Simple answer please, I'm not very techy.
Thank you

It depends upon where you're doing it. On a forum like this one you can't do it. (Only the Ed can).

When designing a website (with most software), or creating a Word document, you type 'Click here', then highlight that text, right-click on it and use the option to associate a link with it.

With dedicated email software (rather than when using webmail) you can sometimes use a similar technique.

sorry the above substituted the link but it wasn't active: this is the HTML: replace () with less than greater than signs.
(a href="http://www.google.com">click here

^^^ AB doesn't recognise HTML input from members, TTT. (It used to but it got abused by people who turned on special effects in their posts, like green text or italic type, but who then 'forgot' to turn it off again, rendering everything that followed on an AB page in the same way).

yes, sledge hammer to crack a nut in my opinion, they could code their own HTML to turn off everything after the text box.

It also depends on yours and the recipient's email.

Personally I set my emails to send and receive in plain text rather than html.
