Word Processing Hyperlinks

The hyperlinks I am more interested in seeing, which is of the most use for you and your students, is when you link an image, word or phrase that will transport the user of your document to another section of your document with further info concerning the said link. For example, if you wish to teach numbers, you may choose to hyperlink a picture showing two ducks. Once the student clicks the image, it will transport the user to another page within the document which shows the number "2" and maybe a sentence with it in context..."The two (2) ducks are swimming in a pond."


Create a hyperlink to a location in the current document or Web page

To link to a location in a document or Web page that you created in Word, you must mark the hyperlink location or destination and then add the link to it.

Mark the hyperlink location

You can mark the hyperlink location by using a bookmark (bookmark: A location or selection of text in a file that you name for reference purposes. Bookmarks identify a location within your file that you can later refer or link to.) in Word.

Insert a bookmark

In your document, do the following:

1. Select the text or item to which you want to assign a bookmark, or click where you want to insert a bookmark.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Links group, click Bookmark.
3. Under Bookmark name, type a name. Bookmark names must begin with a letter and can contain numbers. You can't include spaces in a bookmark name. However, you can use the underscore character to separate words — for example, First_heading.
4. Click Add.

Add the link

1. Select the text or object that you want to display as the hyperlink.
2. Right-click and then click Hyperlink on the shortcut menu.
3. Under Link to, click Place in This Document.
4. In the list, select the bookmark that you want to link to.

If you have any questions or doubts, send me an email, and I will get back with you within 48 hours or less.
