Computer and Web Articles

If you’ve ever tried copying website addresses into Microsoft Word, you’ve likely experienced a bit of frustration upon finding that the pasted link was a different size, appeared to be a different font style, or ended up in the wrong place.

The secret to keeping your Word documents nice and organized while still including links to web pages or other documents is the keyboard combination of the Ctrl + k.

Go ahead and type a sentence in a new Word document. Next, highlight a few words of the sentence. Now, hit Ctrl + K and a little window pops open. This window allows you to type (or paste) in the address of a website or link to a different document located on your computer. Upon clicking the OK button, the text you highlighted will become a link that matches the rest of your document’s text.
