It sounds like you have a browser issue or a connectivity or Flash issue. Please undertake some troubleshooting.

1. How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.

2. Are you using http:// or https:// see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

3.Which browser and version of it are you using?

4. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

Review of steps of how to take to create links in posts and pages.
Any text one wants to link to is called anchor text. You type the anchor text and then use your mouse to highlight (select) it. Then you click the chain icon and complete the pop-up form that appears by entering the URL.
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

I use Google Chrome, and I just went through and deleted all cookies. I have’t been using Google Chrome for that long, so I think this is the newest version.
Additionally I realized I wasn’t using http:// when I copy/pasted.
It still doesn’t work.
When I possibly get my computer to do this will the anchor text show up on the editing page or just the blog?
