HYPERTEXT

(Note for experienced users: If anyone is introducing an absolute beginner to this tutorial then it would be preferable if you could get to this page yourself then hand the controls over to the student, especially if they haven't been exposed to this type of thing before.)

And so to start. Dept Users will be using the Windows environment on IBM-PCs. Within the Windows environment they will be running a piece of software called NCSA Mosaic for Windows. Mosaic allows the referencing of networked documents using hypertext.

Hypertext is a way of creating links to other documents. A link to another place within the same document is called an anchor. These links are 'invisible' to the user, and can be pursued via a marked area within your current document. Dept Users will see highlights in the colour blue., and can pursue the link by clicking on the highlight using the mouse. For example, pursue a link by clicking here.
