  Yes, what you do is put the words into the post or page then highlight those words and then click the “link” button and put the URL in and click “insert.” The words will then be a hyperlink to that URL.

  If you feel the need to keep the other pages as reference, then set them either to private or back to draft status. If there is nothing there that you need to keep, then you can trash them.

  There has been a change to the software ie. an upgrade and a new link feature added to the Visual editor. There are difficulties for those using IE 7/8 as are witnessed in the many can’t create a link threads on the front page of the forum. Staff are aware of the issue and working on it. The advice is to swtich to Firefox and/or to switch to the HTML editor and enter your links there. I am using Firefox 3.6.12 and the HTML editor and doing just fine – others are hand wringing and fretting about this – I am not.
