Sometimes you may need to insert a hyperlink
into a document you are sending electronically.

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.210
For example, in my cover letter, I might want
to include my email address.

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:22.741
Once I type my email address, I'll need to
insert a hyperlink that will make the address

00:00:22.741 --> 00:00:24.230
active.

00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:29.930
If Word recognizes it as an email address,
it can automatically insert a hyperlink.

00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:34.450
You can click your Space Bar or the Enter
key to make it a hyperlink.

00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:39.410
When the recipient of this document clicks
on my email address, it will open their default

00:00:39.410 --> 00:00:44.750
email client and automatically place my email
address in a New Message.

00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:49.030
Other times, I may need to insert a hyperlink
manually.

00:00:49.030 --> 00:00:55.079
Let's say I also want to include a link to
my online portfolio or professional website.

00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.820
First I will need to type the words MY PORTFOLIO.

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:02.360
I just select the text and click the Insert
tab.

00:01:02.360 --> 00:01:06.979
In the Links group, click the Hyperlink command.

00:01:06.979 --> 00:01:10.260
The Insert Hyperlink dialogue box appears.

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:15.420
In the text to display field, appears the
text I selected.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.840
In the Address field, I need to type the web
address I would like my text to link to.

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.819
Then, click Ok.

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:27.659
This makes it easy for someone to view my
portfolio online.

00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:33.029
When the person who received my file clicks
on My Portfolio, it will link them directly

00:01:33.029 --> 00:01:35.329
to my website.

00:01:35.329 --> 00:01:37.219
Hyperlinks are not limited to text.

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:40.799
You can also hyperlink pictures and shapes.

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.529
Suppose the recipient request that you not
send a document with hyperlinks?

00:01:45.529 --> 00:01:51.509
You can easily remove the hyperlink by selecting
the text, and then click the hyperlink command,

00:01:51.509 --> 00:01:55.619
if you look beside the address field, you
will see Remove Link.

00:01:55.619 --> 00:01:58.719
Click on Remove Link.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:04.020
You will notice that your text is no longer
underlined and the hyperlink has been removed.

00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:09.990
Since the text My Portfolio displays instead
of the actual web address I will have to type

00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:12.610
the web address for my portfolio.

00:02:12.610 --> 00:02:17.620
The recipient of this letter will have to
type this address in his or her web browser.

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:22.610
Remember to always double check the web address
you insert for your hyperlink.

00:02:22.610 --> 00:02:24.910
You wouldn't want to hyperlink to the wrong
website!
