Hyperlinks & a little extra in email

M

Mel

Hi,
I posted yesterday but I'm not getting any takers so I'll try again.

I'm trying to find out how to create links to adobe files or other websites
from an Outlook email. I know how to create a hyperlink, but what if I want
something more aesthetically pleasing, like a button or highlighted text to
select to take me to this other location or open up this other file? (To see
our latest product catalogues, please click here XXXXX OR To download
the latest version of Adobe........, please click here XXXXX)

I believe a hyperlink can sit behind an image so that you're not just looking
at the url? Does anyone know how to do this?

Also, if I want to have these options included in all my emails, is there any
way to include these links (buttons) as part of my signature? I can't see how
to include anything in my signature except text, however I don't know where
else to include it so it would automatically be part of all new emails I send.

I use Windows XP.

Any advice?
Thx.
Mel

You need to use HTML formatted email. To add a text link, you can use the
Insert, Insert Hyperlink menu or create the links in other programs and
paste into outlook.
