Create a Hyperlink

Microsoft Word creates a hyperlink (hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that one clicks to go to a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and FTP sites.) for the user when he or she types the address of an existing Web page, such as www.microsoft.com, if the automatic formatting of hyperlinks has not been turned off. One can also create customized links.
