About Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks have two basic parts: the address of the web page, email address, or other location that they are linking to, and the display text (or image). For example, the address could be http://blog.gcflearnfree.org, and the display text could be "blog". In some cases, the display text might be the same as the address. When you're creating a hyperlink in Word, you'll be able to choose both the address and the display text or image.
To follow a hyperlink in Word, hold down the Control key and click on the hyperlink.
To Insert a Hyperlink:
- Select the text or image you would like to make a hyperlink.
- Right-click the selected text or image and click Hyperlink. Or, if you would prefer, you can right-click in a blank area of the document and click Hyperlink.
- The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will open. You can also get to this dialog box from the Insert tab by clickingHyperlink.
- If you selected text, the words will appear in the Text to display: field at the top. You can change this text if you want.
- Type the address you would like to link to in the Address: field.
The Insert Hyperlink dialog box
- Click OK. The text or image you selected will now be a hyperlink.
The finished hyperlink
You can also insert a hyperlink that links to another portion of the same document by selecting Place in This Document from the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.
To Make an Email Address a Hyperlink:

Creating an email hyperlink

Typing the email address and display text

Removing a hyperlink
After you create a hyperlink, you should test it. If you have linked to a web site, your web browser should automatically open and display the site. If it doesn't work, check the hyperlink address for misspellings.
