Getting Down To Work - Microsoft Word

1.24. Checking A Hyperlink

When you are still editing the Word® document, you cannot just click on this new hyperlink. 

If you want to check that it opens correctly (and you are connected to the Internet), hover over the link with your mouse and then follow the instructions to hold down the Control button on your keyboard while you left click with your mouse. 

Your linked Web page should open in a new window. 

You can correct, change or remove the hyperlink by selecting the hyperlinked text and then clicking on the hyperlink icon again at the top of the page.
