how do I change a link name?

 

1. First you type what you would like the link to say e.g

This is what I would like the link to say​

2. Then, you highlight that text
3. When the text (This is what I would like the link to say) is highlighted, click on the hyperlink button on the toolbar above the reply box



4. In the hyperlink box, put the URL (web address) that you want your words "This is what I would like the link to say" to be linked to. Click on "Insert" once you have added the web address in the link box.
5. You should now see that the words "This is what I would like the link to say" will be a hyperlink colour

Hope that helps Jiffster
