In some documents you may want to
include a web address or an email address.

00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:16.510
You can format these as
hyperlinks so people can access the

00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:19.120
information directly from the document.

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.600
For example, I'd like to add an email
address in the contact section of this newsletter.

00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:31.070
So I'll just type the address here...

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.010
and when I press the space bar or the Enter key on my keyboard, Word will automatically format

00:00:37.010 --> 00:00:39.280
the text as a hyperlink.

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.170
You can do the same thing with the web
address. In this example, who we'll add a link

00:00:44.170 --> 00:00:51.720
to a pool safety web site: www.poolsafely.gov

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.490
And there we go!

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:59.110
Creating links automatically doesn't
always work though. For example, if you

00:00:59.110 --> 00:01:02.740
want the text to be something other than
a web address.

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:07.400
In these situations, you can format
existing text a hyperlink.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:13.400
In this example, I'd like to add a link to the
City of Orlando's website so you can go

00:01:13.410 --> 00:01:16.640
directly to the website while reading
the document.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.340
I'll first select the text that I want to
turn into a link

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:24.920
then right-click and choose Hyperlink.

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.310
You can also use the Hyperlink command
on the Insert tab

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:34.189
Every hyperlink has two parts: the most
important part is the address, which

00:01:34.189 --> 00:01:40.949
could be a web address, an email address, a file or even a location in the same document.

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:45.290
Just use the buttons on the left to navigate your options.

00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:52.220
In this example, we're going to enter www.cityoforlando.net

00:01:52.220 --> 00:01:56.630
The second part of a hyperlink is the
display text, which is the thing people

00:01:56.630 --> 00:01:59.910
will actually see when they read the
document.

00:01:59.910 --> 00:02:04.820
The display text can be the same as the address or just whatever you want.

00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:07.510
When you're ready, click OK.

00:02:07.510 --> 00:02:10.770
And now the text is formatted as a
hyperlink.

00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:15.220
You know, it's a good idea to test your
links before sending out your document

00:02:15.220 --> 00:02:19.520
just to make sure they work. Normally,
when you're in a web browser, you could

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:24.320
just click a link to open it. But in
Word, you have to hold Control on your

00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:32.370
keyboard while you click, just like it
says in the instructions here.

00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:34.640
OK, this website opened correctly,

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:37.740
which means our hyperlink is working.

00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:41.200
Let's go back to our document for one
last thing.

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:45.610
If you want to remove a hyperlink all
you have to do is right-click,

00:02:45.610 --> 00:02:50.680
then make your selection from the menu.
You can also choose Edit Hyperlink to make

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.400
adjustments the display text or the
address.

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.450
So now you know two different ways to create hyperlinks: by converting the text

00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:02.450
yourself or using the automatic
formatting feature.
