How to Embed and Link to a URL in Microsoft Word 2010

There are a few ways you can go about embedding a link in your word document. To start from scratch simply right click where you'd like the link to end up and click "hyperlink." In the bottom field enter the exact URL you want the link to point to. You can also paste a copied URL here as well. In the top field enter in the text that you'd like displayed on the page. As a default, this is simply the URL itself but you can make it whatever you'd like. Now click OK.

Another Way to Embed and Link to a URL in Microsoft Word 2010

Another way to add a hyperlink is to simply highlight a block of text or word, right click and select hyperlink. From here you enter in the URL as before, then hit ok to turn the highlighted text into your link.
