  Step 1:  Understanding Links

Open a Report
Web pages are made up of two kinds of links: text links and graphic links. Depending on the purpose of the link you may be taken to a new location on the same page, a different page in the same site or an entirely different Web site.
  Step 2:  Using Text Links

Open a Report
Text links are usually displayed as underlined text, where graphic links are only indicated as links when there is a change in your mouse cursor. Try visiting www.antharia.com/welcome, look at the bottom of the page... see the underlined words? These are the links.
  Step 3:  Using Graphic Links

Open a Report
Graphic links are indicated as links when there is a change in your mouse cursor, where text links are usually displayed as underlined text. Try visiting www.antharia.com. Can you find the links? There are two graphic links on this page that take you to the inside pages.
  Step 4:  Moving from Link to Link

Open a Report
You can easily move from link to link within a Web page by using the keyboard shortcuts Tab and Shift+Tab. When you reach the desired link, press Enter to go to the chosen link.
