Hi Sarah,

Probably someone's already replied in the time it's taken to see this post...

You need to turn on HTM view and add it manually as HTML code around the text (or image) that you want the link on.

eg

<a href="http://www.website.com/moodlehelp.pdf" target="_self">your text</a>

The a denotes the link, so needs the /a to turn it off (or the rest of the text witll be part of the link!)

The target can be "_self" which is to show it in the same window, "_parent" and "_top" do similar things (browser dependent) which is load into a new, tab in exisitng window (at the top if allowed) and "_blank" loads into a new window (if your borwser does this - with firefox it's usually equal to the top command).

There's plenty of additional online info about this, for example, http://www.codetoad.com/html/frames/specifying_frames.asp
