hello first post ever anywhere!  
I’m loading a text file (mydata.txt) into a dynamic text variable but how do I make a link in that dynamic text file.  
It contains only words but I want some of the words to link to other places. Any help would be appreciated!!

You can use html tags like HREF in dynamic text fields. They take exactly the same form as normal html tags and the normal rules of opening and closing tags apply except that if you’re entering a variable eg \< A HREF=‘[http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)’ \> or \< FONT COLOR=’#66ccff’ \> you encase it in single ’ rather than double".
