Hi Not sure why you are so angry at me when you actually ignored my answer.
You type the link text first. Then you select it. Then you open the dialog, or type cmd-ctrl-a, and fill it in. Then when you close the dialog it puts the anchor AROUND THE TEXT YOU TYPED, as I said. It is quite true I had never used the dialog before, I just don’t see the point in it, but I did go and use it specifically to try and help you before I posted my reply.
