Microsoft Word can be used to create a quick hotlist of web sites without having to know anything about web page authoring.

1. Start Microsoft Word and a browser.

2. Arrange the browser window and the Word window such that both can be viewed on the screen. Place the cursor at the desired place in the Word document.

3. On the browser window, click and hold on the @ symbol in front of the web site address and drag it to the Word document

4. A hyperlink will be added to your Word document at the location of the cursor. The page title of the web page is added to the Word document, not the actual web address.
* To edit the text of the hyperlink:
* highlight the text
* from the toolbar, click Insert / Hyperlink
* change the text in the Display field

5. Continue searching the Internet and adding hyperlinks to your Word document.

6. The Word document can be edited to look more appealing for your lesson.
Note: Students can use this same process to save a list of research sites visited for their bibliographies.

1. Edit the page that will contain the hotlist.
2. In the content box, add the address of the web sites.

3. HTML tags can be added to change the text of the hyperlink that displays on your page.
