SYMPTOMS
The Insert Hyperlink and Edit hyperlink dialog boxes have no interface for setting the target of a hyperlink. You can not specify a new page, parent, or frame as the target of your hyperlink.



MORE INFORMATION
To work around this problem, open the page in another application, such as FrontPage, and add a target to the hyperlink.

If you do not have another application with this functionality, you may also open the HTML page in Notepad and directly modify the HTML code. For example, if you had a link to the Microsoft homepage, it would look similar to the following: Microsoft's Web Site You would need to add a target parameter to code. If you want to have this hyperlink open in a new window, you would change the code to: Microsoft's Web Site

The target attribute specifies the window or frame to which the contents are targeted. If no frame or window exists, a new window will be opened. If no target or frame is specified, the default is "_self" for a link within the same site, or "_top" for an external site. For more information on the five main target settings, please see the following table:
