How to embed a URL in text?

Dinarius

Instead of having my website as a link in text on a Word document - in this case an email Signature - I want to have it embedded in a word.


For example, instead of www.joebloggs.com I want to simply have, say, Website as a hyperlinked word that someone can click on to go to my website.


1. How can I do this?


2. I'd like it underlined. How is this done?


3. Does it have to be the standard hyperlink blue?


Thanks!

When I do the above, I get the following...


<a href="http://www.joebloggs.com"&gt;Website</a>


But, when I paste it into my email signature, it stays like that. It doesn't simply become Website



It stays the same also pasted into a Word document.



What else must I do?


Thanks!

@Dinarius

As much i recall, you using Outlook2016(same for 2010)


0. Start new message.
1. Click on Signature on the ribbon and select Signatures...
2. Click on New and give name, click OK.
3. In Edit signature window type text, details, format text, font, etc.
4. Highlight desired word(s) and click Edit Hyperlink icon.
5. Type/paste URL in Address: field.
6. Click OK
7. If want, you can set signature to be default for specific mail account to New messages: or Replies/forwards: or both. This step optional as you can add/change desired signature for each message from Signature drop-down list at any point while creating New Email .


Result in the screenshot. Does this not working for you?

In your Word doc, write whatever word you want to use e.g. Joe Bloggs - underlined, bolded etc. Right-click on the word, choose Insert Hyperlink and then insert the website address in the Address box that comes up.

TBH, this sounds too simple as an answer to your query and my apologies if this is so.

Thanks to you both.

Yes, it was too simple, but that's what you're dealing with!

I had hoped that it would solve a problem I'm having with my Eircom email account Signature, namely, that if my work URL is in an email (either in the body of the text or in the Signature) the email is sent to Junk on Eircom webmail and will not deliver to the recipient.

Similarly, I have a gmail account and a university account - if my URL in any form is in an email sent from these accounts, it will not send to my Eircom account or any other Eircom account.

If I send an email to any non-Eircom account from one of these emails, with my URL in the email, it will arrive no problem.

I cannot get to the bottom of this. It only started happening within the last month.

Needless to say, not being an Eircom customer, they haven't replied to me. But, I have been using this email for work for about 25 years and don't want to change it.

I have now amended the URL in my Signature on all three email accounts to read...

www . joebloggs . ie

It's working fine.

Thanks again.
