How do I insert a file link into a WYSIWYG editor?

This procedure works for all WYSIWYG editors.

Add your files to the File Cabinet Wizard

Adding a file link assumes that the file is already in the File Cabinet's Collaboration Documents folder.

If your file is not yet uploaded, see this document: How do I upload files into the File Cabinet?

  1. Enter the introductory text that will contain the link you will create (yellow highlight).

All WYSIWYG editors on rsvpBOOK.com will work in this manner.

Open the WYSIWYG editor that will contain your link
  1. Select the text that will be the link
  2. Click the Insert Picture or Link to a File button
Highlight the link text

The Collaboration Documents URL window opens ...
  1. Click the Add Link button
Add the link using the URL that is on the clipboard

  3. Click the Insert button - you're done
The link window opens on top of the editor window

Test, Test, Test!

Open the email message or page where you inserted the link and click it.  Did it work?  If not, you will need to do it again; you must have missed a step.
