the Link text box.
To link to a document in your
site, enter a document-relative or site root-relative path. To link to a
document outside your site, enter an absolute path including the protocol (such
as http://). You can use this approach to enter a link for a file that hasn’t
been created yet.

To make the linked document
appear somewhere other than in the current window or frame, select an option

unnamed browser window.
·
_parent loads the linked document in the parent
frame or parent window of the frame that contains the link. If the frame
containing the link is not nested, then the linked document loads in the full
browser window.
·
_self loads the linked document in the same
frame or window as the link. This target is the default, so you usually don’t
have to specify it.
·
_top loads the linked document in the full
browser window, thereby removing all frames.
