 +======Creating Meaningful Display Text for Hyperlinks======
 +
 +To make a hyperlink accessible, you need to ensure that the display text is meaningful, clear, and direct. We want to remove all the ''http://www.WebsiteName.com/etc/etc'' text from a link. It is very annoying for a screen reader to read out all those letters and dashes. We also want to avoid terms like ''here'' or ''click here'' as they hold no meaning to someone using a screenreader. Click where? We need to use meaningful text, for example [[https://nnels.ca/|NNELS Website]]
 +
 +
 +To edit existing Hyperlink Display Text:
 +  * Select the hyperlink text
 +  * Right click to open the menu
 +  * Select ''Hyperlink'' and select ''Edit Hyperlink'' or select ''Edit Hyperlink'' depending if you use Mac or Windows
 +  * This will open the Hyperlink dialogue box
 +  * At the top of the window is a textbox labelled: ''Text to Display''
 +  * Enter updated display text.
