Click in the document where you want to type a URL that will be the link.
Type the URL.
Press the Enter key; the URL automatically becomes a hyperlink. When this link is used, a browser window opens containing the page referenced by the URL.
INTRODUCTION
A URL (short for uniform resource locator) is to a Web page what a street address is to a house a unique way of identifying that page's location. Office enables you type URLs directly into your documents; when you do, Office automatically establishes a link to the Web page that the URL identifies. (If you're working in Excel, the process differs slightly; see the next task for details.) Anyone reading your document can then use this link to immediately view the page it references (see p. 277 to learn how). Links, also called hyperlinks, appear in a different color from regular text and are underlined, making them easy to identify. In addition to typing text into a URL link, you can also type email addresses directly in your documents to become links.
TIP
Removing Hyperlinks
If you are typing a hyperlink into a worksheet as an example and don't want it to be an active link, move the mouse pointer over the link, right-click, and select Remove Hyperlink from the shortcut menu.
