Hyperlink in Word: redirection to a website

If it is necessary in the text to redirect the reader to the site, a hyperlink is created in Word according to the following instructions:

1. Select with your mouse the symbols that will lead to the site.
2. Switch to the “Insert” section on the top menu. Here you will need a “Hyperlink”.
3. Now you need to enter the website URL and click OK.

After this, the specified text will turn blue, and when clicked, it will direct the user to the entered address.

Important! As a standard, to open a web page you need to simultaneously press Ctrl and the left mouse button. However, it is not always convenient. You can change this system in the program settings.

Additional settings

By default, following a link in Word is done using the Ctrl key in combination with clicking the left mouse button. But this setting can be changed so that a mouse click is enough.

To do this, go to the “File” section of the main menu, go to “Options”, “Advanced” and remove one “bird”, as shown in the screenshot.

If you need to delete a link, right-click on any part of it and select the appropriate action.

Hyperlink in Word: how to redirect to another part of the file

When you need to create content, for example, you should create a hyperlink. It will allow you to conveniently navigate the file when using the table of contents. This is done according to the following algorithm:

1. Using mouse click, specify the desired paragraph to which the heading will redirect.
2. In the top menu, open the “Insert” section.
3. Here you will need the “Links” item, and then “Bookmark”.
4. In the created window, in the “Bookmark name” line, write the name of the title.

This creates a bookmark in Word. To create the hyperlink itself, you need:

1. Using the right mouse button, call up the context menu where you need to redirect to a previously saved bookmark.
2. Now you should select "Hyperlink".
3. In the new window on the left, in the “Link to” block, click on “place in document”.
4. Select a previously created bookmark.
5. Click "OK".

It is impossible to create a link to a piece of text without a bookmark. Headings automatically appear in the dialog box. You only need to make content and links.

Create a hyperlink to another place in the document

In order to create an active link to a particular place in a document or on a web page that you created in Word, you first need to mark the point to which this link will lead.

How do I mark the destination of a link?

Using a bookmark or title, you can mark the destination of the link.

Add a bookmark

1. Select the object or text with which you want to link a bookmark, or left-click on the place in the document where you want to insert it.

2. Go to the “Insert” , click the “Bookmark” located in the “Links” .

3. Enter a name for the bookmark in the appropriate field.

Note: The bookmark name must begin with a letter. However, the bookmark name may contain numbers, but there should not be spaces.

Tip: If you need to separate words in the bookmark name, use an underscore, for example, “site_lumpics” .

4. After completing the above steps, click “Add” .

Using the header style

You can use one of the template heading styles available in MS Word for the text located where you want the hyperlink to go.

1. Select a piece of text to which you want to apply a specific heading style.

2. In the “Home” , select one of the available styles presented in the “Styles” .

Tip: If you have selected text that you want to look like a main heading, you can choose a template for it from the available Quick Style gallery. For example, “Heading 1” .

2. Right-click on this element, and in the context menu that opens, select “Hyperlink” .

3. Select “Place in Document” “Link to” section .

4. In the list that appears, select the bookmark or title to which the hyperlink will link.

Making a hyperlink to the letter template

1. Hold down the mouse and select the text space that will be the hyperlink.
2. Right-click and select “Insert Hyperlink.”
3. In the "Link to" menu you need to set it to "email".
4. Enter your email address and optionally add a subject line.
5. Click "OK".

How to make a hyperlink to a site

Everything here is actually very simple. If we want to make it so that when we click on the site address we get to it, then we just need to write this address and press the spacebar. For example, if I write the full address of my resource https://koskomp.ru and click, then this word will automatically become clickable, since it saw the https:// protocol and the ending ru. This lets Word know that we are entering the site.

But if I try to write simply koskomp.ru without a protocol, then this feature will not work, since now it does not understand anything and everything will have to be done manually. In order for him to understand this, you need to indicate the auxiliary parts, for example the protocol (https://, https://, ftp://), or you need to indicate your affiliation with the Internet by placing WWW .

The post office works the same way. The @ icon indicates that there will be an email address and also makes it active.

But if you suddenly want to write an anchor link so that the address itself is not displayed, but a word is written, for example, “Read here” or a specific request, then as I described above, it will no longer work. You'll have to do everything manually.

To do this, select the word that we want to assign the clickability property and right-click on it. There you will have to click on the word “Hyperlink”.

And in the newly opened window, write the address of the resource to which you want to link. Just make sure you're in the "File, Web Page" tab. After that, click OK and voila! All is ready.

Built-in “Links and References” function

As standard, Word has a separate function that allows you to add a reference to a literary source in the form of a hyperlink. It's quite simple to use:

1. Select the desired fragment of the file.
2. Open the "Insert" section.
3. Select "Insert Link" and then "Add New Source".
4. In the new window, enter the required information.
5. Click OK.

You can edit the list of sources created in this way through the “Manage Sources” function.
