NOTE for Mozilla Firefox Users.

There is a bug with Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x which means that the link will appear at the top of the article with the hyperlink (without http://) as the selectable text. As a temporary fix, you can try this (It’s a bit contrived, but it works for now):

1. Select the hyperlink and click on the Insert/Edit JLink icon (next to the "Insert a Link" icon: ).
2. In the Caption Box, type the text you wanted to be clickable e.g. Click here
3. Click the OK button
4. Select the clickable text (Click here)
5. Cut the text (Ctrl-X)
6. Click at the desired position in the article
7. Paste the text (Ctrl-V), with the link attached, to the desired position.
