Adding active links to a text document

You can add working HTML links to a TextEdit file.

To create a link:

  1. Select the text you want to use for the web link.

  2. Choose Edit > Add Link.

  3. Type or paste the Internet address (the complete URL) in the “Link destination” field, and then click OK.

    Be sure to use the correct form (for example, http://www.apple.com). You can click the link to be sure it works.

You can also copy a link from another document (such as a webpage or an email message) and paste it into a TextEdit document. When you save the text file, the link remains active.
