Hyperlinks
Embedding website links in text — like this (Links to an external site.) — directs your reader to sources of further information (Links to an external site.) without disrupting the flow of your message. Any snippet of text within your message can be turned into an active hyperlink. Here’s what you need to do:
- Highlight the text you want to link
- Click the chain link icon on the top row of the toolbar. This will open the Insert Hyperlink dialog box
- Copy and paste the web address to which you want to link
- Click Ok
Data Visualizations
Embedding an interesting data visualization directly into the flow of your text allows your reader to see a visual representation of information without having to click through to another site. For the purposes of this course, we will embed links to credible sources of factual information and embed charts, graphs, or other types of infographic images to enhance the reader’s understanding of your positionYou may create your own data visualization or use one created by someone else as long as you provide proper attribution.
