Add an Email Address or Link in Contribute

Add an Email Address

1. Click the "Link" menu in the toolbar across the top of the Adobe Contribute application.
2. Select "E-mail Address..."
3. Enter the text you want displayed and the email address into the appropriate text boxes. You can also select text that is already on the page, and it will automatically be placed in the "Link Text" text box.
4. Click OK.

Important: Make sure email addresses do not have any spaces or extra characters. If they do, the links will not work correctly. Also, make sure the "Target frame" for the link is set to default.

This also allows users to use their “back” buttons to return to the pages from which they followed the link.
