Insert a Call-to-Action Link

- Click the Insert Call to Action icon and click either Arrow Button or Arrow Link from the drop-down menu and the styled link will appear on the page.
- Edit the text. Click and drag to select call to action text, leaving the first character and type or paste in the new text. Go back and delete the first character.
If you don’t leave the first character, you’ll lose the call to action formatting.
