Creating a link to a document within a public folder
What's related > Top level and second level pages
To link to a document within a public folder, first save the document(s) into the relevant public folder. Next follow these steps:
- In the web browser visit https://exchange.lse.ac.uk/public/
- Browse in the folders view until you reach the email containing the attachment
- Right-click over the attachment in the message (usually a Word icon) and select 'Copy shortcut' (in Internet Explorer) or 'Copy Link Location' (in Netscape). This is the URL of the document
- In FrontPage, select the text that you want to become the hyperlink
- Hyperlink as normal by pasting the copied address into the URL box, having first deleted the 'http://' that is already in there
- Add the text: '[Restricted access]', linked to http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/help/ra.htm, next to the hyperlink, to forewarn users that they will need to log on with their LSE username and password
- Remember that users need to have been granted access to the relevant public folder before they can access the document
