The hyperlink icon in the text editor of a webpage is like a chain (it is different in this Moodle as this is 2.0 but the 1.9 version is pictured below.) Type a word, then select that word and then click the "chain" icon -then in URL you type in full the web address of the link you want. (It does usually turn full web addresses into hyperlinks automatically but maybe it depends on what sort of browser you have.)
