How to create a
hyperlink in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint
· Have open your Word (or PowerPoint) document and your internet browser (Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox)
· In your Word/PowerPoint document, type in the text you would like to become a hyperlink
· Select this text by highlighting it (put the cursor at one end of the text and dragging your mouse over the text while holding down the mouse key)
· Go to “Insert” in the menu at the top of your screen and select “Hyperlink” (You could also select “Apple k” on your keyboard)
· The “Insert Hyperlink” window will pop open asking you for the address you would like to link to
· Go back to your internet browser and go to the webpage you want to link to
· When you get to the page you want to link to, select the address in the address bar by either double-clicking on it or highlighting it
· Once the address is highlighted type “Apple c” on your keyboard to copy it
· Go back to your Word/PowerPoint document (sometimes the address will automatically be inserted in the address field, if so, then skip to the final step)
· Click in the “address” field of the “insert Hyperlink” pop up window and type “Apple v” on your keyboard
· Click the “OK” button and popup window will disappear and the text in your Word/PowerPoint document should appear as colored hyperlink
