Quite often you will want to create a link, in either a page or a post, to a pdf or other file types. The best way to have these links open up is in a new window.  Here’s how to get it done:

• Click the “Add Media” button.
  
• Upload the file to the Media Library (drag and drop or “select file” from your computer).
• With the new file selected, copy the URL for the file (bottom right of the sidebar) and click the X button at the top right to close the window.
  
• Back to your content, highlight the text that you want to link to your file.
• Click the link icon button in the toolbar.
  
• Click the gear icon to get a second popup window with more link options.
  
• Paste the URL of your file into the URL location box.
• Check the “Open link in a tab” box (to ensure your website remains open in their browser).
• Click the “Add Link” button
