opening a link in a new window
This is a simple trick but one that's frequently requested. Sometimes when you click on a link the subsequent page opens in a new window. Web designers do this as a way to keep people from drifting too far from their site. Of course having multiple windows open can also confuse your users ("my back button doesn't work!") so you have to judge your visitors to decide when or whether to use this trick.
To have a link open in a new window, create the link the same way as always.
Then, in the Inspector, click the popup menu next to Target and select _blank. The page will open in a new window which is the same dimensions and has the same features as the last window opened by the browser.
If you would like to change the size or features of this new browser window, check out this tutorial on using the Open Window Action (which opens in a new window, of course).
