Microsoft Publisher Question

[FocusedPath]

I used Microsoft Publisher to build my web page. Is there a way to have my site open a new window when someone "clicks" on something on my page, instead of it sending them forward? Please reply in very basic terms since I am very un-computer savy. Thanks

Its my understanding the Microsoft Publisher is for doing print material, i had no idea you can make a webpage in it, i would suggest using a real webpage editor.

if you are talking about microsoft frontpage
go to top of page click on insert
scroll down to hyperlink and click
put in where ever you want to link to
then click target frame on edit hyperlink window
click on open new window
that way when you follow the link it will open in a different window and if they cick the red x instead of the back button your site will still be there

As far as I know, all of the MS Office products have the ability to create webpages. It's usually as simple as Save As -> Web Page. The newer versions of excel actually give you the ability to create interactive pages using javascript, or at least that's what it looks like.

I would not recommed this practice but it's there and at times it's convenient.

I'd definitely recommend learning the basics of HTML and CSS.

What you want, if i understand you correctly is:
You want your visitors to stay at your site instead of leaving when they click on a link in your site. That is relatively simple. The HTML code you need to use is this:

<a href="www.newSite.com" target="_blank">Your link goes here.</a>

The <a> </a> are the opening and closing tags for the anchor element.
href is the Hypertext Reference. The part that says: target="_blank" is what will open a new window to where the link leads to.

Hope that helps you. HTML may seem complicated at first glance, but as you learn; you will find it's not really complicated.

Best of Luck to you
