First, Start up your version of Adobe GoLive CS2, and open the page that contains the text you wish to make a link, or create a new page. Once your page is open, be sure that your objects, and inspector windows are open. If not, click on window in your top menu, and then click on each to open the windows in your workspace.
Now that all of the necessary window are open, navigate to the basic objects in your objects window and drag and drop a text box onto your page (if your already have the text on your page, skip ahead).
Re-Size your text box to the desired size, click on it so that the cursor appears inside the box, then type some text into it. After you have typed in your text, click after it with your mouse, then highlight the text.

Now look over at your inspector window, it should like something like this.
In the top line in your inspector window, type the address you would like that text to link to, or click on the file icon to browse.
Now your text is linked. Easy huh? But what about all of the other inputs? Glad you asked. Click on the arrow in the target box...
This menu gives you your options for opening the new page your linking to. _blank will open the link in a new page. The other commands TITLE ans NAME/ID give you even more options. Whatever you f put in the title command prompt will display when someone halts their mouse over the link (for an example try it on one of the links on this page) NAME/ID will link to certain spots on the same or different page, but a full explanation is beyond the realm of this simple tutorial.
