Button on Word 2002 page

[NeverBoring]

I have the HTML code for a button that I wish to place into a Word 2002
document. The button is for a reader to click on and go to a web site,
PayPal, on which they can place money into my account. I do not understand
how to make the button. Thank you.

First of all you have to open an account with PayPal (it's free). Then you
use their website to get the button. They will send you the code to put on
your webpage.

I believe "NeverBoring" has already done that and doesn't know how to insert
the code in the document.

Ohhhhh. Ok. Just copy the code that PayPal has sent to you and then
position your cursor on your web page where you want the button to appear and
paste the code. Presto - chango - you've got a button now!

1) Save your document as a Web Page

2) Open the document in Notepad

3) Paste the PayPal code into the correct place

4) Open the Web Page in Word

5) Save back as a Document

However: if you know what you're doing you don't need to do all of that.

1) Copy the button image from PayPal

2) Paste it into your Word document

3) Copy the target URL from PayPal

4) Select the button in the Word document

5) Hit Control + K to bring up the Hyperlink dialogue

6) Paste the PayPal URL into the Hyperlink field.

Cheers
