## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- As you type, [**Word**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95095/how-do-i-fix-formatting-in-word-to-pdf) may automatically build a **hyperlink**. Type a web address (URL) such as www.contoso.com or an email address such as someone@example.com in your document, then press Spacebar or Enter. Word converts the text into a link.
- In your document, place the cursor where you want the link to appear.
- To open the Insert Hyperlink dialogue box, press **Ctrl+K.** The Address field is the centre of attention.
- Press Alt+T to move to the Text to display area after typing the target site's web URL.
- Type the text for the link you want to appear in your document.
- Enter the code. The **Insert Hyperlink** dialogue box closes, and the cursor is moved to the location indicated by the inserted link.
