  2. On the Insert menu, point to Name, and click Define.


  3. Type a name that contains only letters and numbers. Click OK.


  4. Save the workbook into the FrontPage web by clicking Save on the File menu.


  5. Open a FrontPage web in Page view, and select the text or image you want to hyperlink from.
