it in the Document window.
5. Select all the text in the Document window, and then, in the Link box in the Property
inspector, type mailto:[e-mail] to create the e-mail link. (Remember that if
the copyright symbol is not displayed in the footer, you must go to Code view, delete
the code for the copyright symbol from the page, go back to Design view, add a new
copyright symbol from the Characters list of the Text tab in the Insert panel and then
select the text and create the e-mail link.)
