Tip Tip To make an unsaved--that is, newly created--Web page the link destination, drag the Link icon icon beside the Normal tab of the unsaved Web page (the link destination) and drop it onto another Web page (to include the link source). The title of the link destination Web page is set as the link source text. (If the link destination Web page has no title, its HTML file name is set as the link source text.) Change the text if necessary.

If you set a link to a program file, the program can be downloaded when the link source is clicked on a Web browser.
