Keep in mind that when you create any type of link, the underlying link and the link text that appears on the page are separate from one another. You can always edit the text and the underlyng link will not change. Similarly, you can type in a text for your link, select it with your mouse and then open the link dialog to create your link. The link text will be the selected text.
