3. Select 'Existing File or Web Page' if you want to link to a file or a page on the Internet. To select a file, use the box in the middle to browse your hard drive for the file you want to link to. To link to a web page, type the address into the 'Address' field. Keep the 'http://' at the beginning of the address.
