Linking to a Webpage
You can add a hyperlink that opens a webpage in your default web browser.

If you use text that starts with “www” or “http,” the text automatically becomes a
hyperlink. To turn off this feature, choose Pages > Preferences, click Auto-Correction,
and deselect “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” This setting is computer
specific, so if the document is opened on a computer with a different setting, that
computer’s setting is used instead.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Link button, click Hyperlink, and then select
“Enable as a hyperlink.”
