    This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

    This is the general link model:
    <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
    This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked.
    Highlighted anchor text here

    Enter the anchor text you want to link to first.
    Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
    Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

    timethief, thank you for responding. I took a look at the support link before I inquired on the forums, but it didn’t address my problem.

    I am able to add links manually in the text editor with the href attribute. The problem has been in the visual editor link dialog box. The problem I described occurs after I fill in the fields and click “add link” in the dialog box – things disappear.

    I can certainly add all my links manually, and indeed, have been doing so. Obviously, however, it is easier to use the link button in the visual editor, and since it’s there, it ought to function properly. Any idea on how to get it to do so?
