Adding active links to a text document
You can add working HTML links to a TextEdit file.
- Select the text you want to use for the web link.
- Choose Format > Text > Link.
- Type or paste the Internet address (the complete URL) in the "Link destination" field. Be sure to use the correct form (for example, http://www.apple.com). You can click the link to be sure it works.
You may also be able to copy a link from another document (such as a webpage, or an email message) and paste it into a TextEdit document. When you save the text file, the link remains active.
To view a shortcut menu for links, press the Control key and click the link you want to work with.
Note: Some applications may not allow you to select and copy an active link.
