# Creating an External Link

To create an anchor that is a link to another document:

1. Click and drag to select the text for the link you are creating.

2. Click the Link button. The cursor changes from an arrow to a hand.

3. To create the link to the other document, do one of the following:

   - If the target document is displayed in another Amaya window, click anywhere within that window to create the link.

   - If the target document is not displayed in another Amaya window, press any key. A dialog prompts you for the location of the target document. Type the URI of the target document and then click Confirm to create the link.
