I have been working with the downloaded trial program and having trouble
trying to find out how to add links to other web site on the pages I am
designing. I would appreciate information on how to do that. Thanks

What exactly is your problem?

External links have to start with the scheme (http) and hostname:

<a href="http://www.example.org/foo">external website</a>

Select the text that you want to link. Use the Property inspector's Link
field and enter -> http://www.yoursite.com before pressing return.

Get to know the F1 help. It can answer questions like this.

Then I suggest you look at Herr Fesser's response.
You cannot do this within DW's interface, though.

If you wanted to link to google for example you would use the follwing code:

<a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>

If you wanted to have google open in a new window you would use:
<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/" target="_blank">Open Google in new
window</a>

The text between the tags is entirely up to you and is what will appear in
your users' browser.
