Hyperlink button malfunction

When I open a "Create Mail" window the "Insert picture" button on the
toolbar is O.K. but the "Insert hyperlink" button is not operating.
The "Insert \ Hyperlink" in the main toolbar works fine, so what do I need
to do to enliven the insert button in the messgae toolbar?

To use those buttons you must be composing in HTML. In plain text just type
out the link.

Thanks for your reply Frank. I do have HTML in my mail settings but the problem is still there.

Type in text as above and then highlight it. Then the create hyperlink button becomes enabled.

Thanks for the explanation Steve. I now know that you must have some appropriate text highlighted at the point where you want it to appear before the button activates .
(Will write myself a note to this effect!!!)
