    Hi there,

    Please let me know if you have any questions!

    Hi, thank you! This answered my question, but I realize now that this isn’t actually what I was wanting to do. I don’t want my different pages to open in new tabs, rather, I want the external links in my text body on the pages to open in new new tabs (I don’t want clicking on a link I’ve included to navigate the visitor away from my page.) How might I do this?

    Thank you again!
