After writing it all out in a couple of places I thought it would be a good idea to put it here. Conveniently placed for people looking in to this forum and also a fixed place where I'll be able to easily find it if I want to put a copy elsewhere.

You can just post a link to it Fluffy

That's what I was meaning. A lot easier to get it from here than try and find where I left it within a 300+ page thread. . I know one copy is in the Archeological Swillers thread. And I've got a rough idea of where the second copy is. But this makes it so very solid and definite.

A note to add to the above.
When the dialogue box is opened for the link details, there are three lines:
 Link Url is where you enter the address of the link.

Target - you can select whether clicking on the link opens the link in a separate window or not.

Title  - note that this is not what you might think it is. Apparently, this is used to enter text that you want to appear when a mouse hovers over a link. This is rather like the little captions which appear when you use your mouse to hover over one of the above icons. This only works on some browsers, but it does for IE8 and Firefox as you will see if you hover on the link below.

Testing only

Just a note on good practice here
Use target and your link will open in a new tab/window.
