Step 16

Notice that the text control now appears on the bottom right corner. Type in your email address in thistextbox. However we are not done yet. This will only change the appearance of the text but not the actual emailadress openned when someone clicks on this link.

Step 17

Click 'Click Action' tab and change the email address showing there with your own. This is the actual emailaddress used when someone clicks on this link.
