Simplifying Hyperlinking in Microsoft Word

Microsoft has introduced an efficient way to hyperlink text in Word documents.

No longer do users need to delve into menu options to insert links, nor rely on the CTRL + K shortcut. Instead, the process is as seamless as copying a URL and placing it directly onto the selected text you wish to link.

A Streamlined Experience Across Platforms

This enhancement significantly cuts down the steps required for linking web addresses, functioning smoothly on Word for the web as well as Windows and Mac. It mirrors functionality found in other text editing programs like WordPress, making hyperlinking intuitive and quick.

Currently, users are holding out hope that Google Docs will implement a similar feature.

Availability and Requirements

The rollout of this update is underway for those using Word online. Desktop users require at least version 2511 for Windows or version 16.104 for Mac to take advantage of this feature.
