How to create a hyperlink?

To create a hyperlink, select the text or picture you want to make clickable and then insert the link. Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Select the Text or Image: Highlight the specific text you want to turn into a hyperlink, or click on the image you wish to use. This will be the visible part of the link.

2. Insert the Link: There are generally two ways to insert the hyperlink:

   • Using the Ribbon/Menu: Look for an "Insert" or "Link" option in your application's ribbon or menu. For example, in Microsoft Word, you'd go to "Insert" > "Link." This will typically open an "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box.

   • Right-Click Method: Right-click on the selected text or image. A context menu will appear. Look for options like "Link," "Hyperlink," or "Insert Hyperlink."

3. Enter or Paste the URL: In the "Insert Hyperlink" box (or similar dialog), you'll find a field typically labeled "Address" or "URL." This is where you'll type or paste the web address (URL) you want the link to point to. Make sure you include the http:// or https:// prefix.

4. Confirm and Apply: Click "OK" or "Insert" to finalize the hyperlink. The selected text should now appear as a clickable link (often underlined and in a different color), and the image, when clicked, will take you to the specified URL.

Example:

Let's say you want to make the text "Google Search" link to Google's homepage.

1. Select the text "Google Search".
2. Right-click and choose "Link."
3. In the "Address" field, type https://www.google.com/.
4. Click "OK."

Now, "Google Search" is a clickable link that directs users to the Google website.
