2. If you have any unsaved changes, Word will prompt you to save your file.

Saving your file first is recommended, especially if you plan to create a relative link, which is helpful if you plan to move your files as a group later.

When a hyperlink uses a path based on a relative link, you can move the file that contains the hyperlink and the destination of the hyperlink without breaking the hyperlink. You must move the file that contains the hyperlink and the destination together, (that is, move the entire path structure) to maintain the hyperlink.

3. In the Link to file or URL box, enter the path of the file you want the hyperlink to jump to, or left-click the Browse button to find the drive, path and filename.

4. In the Named location in file: box, enter the subaddress, if any, to jump to a specific, named location in another MS Office file.

Notes:
To specify a location in a Word document or Web page that you want to jump to, open the file, and insert a bookmark.

To quickly enter a URL (Universal Resource Locator) in the Link to file or URL: text entry box in Microsoft Internet Explorer, make sure the ‘Link to file or URL:’ box is empty, switch programs or start your Web browser software, open the World Wide Web page you want, and then switch back to MS Word. Otherwise, you can just type in the URL.

When you follow a hyperlink – that is, when you click the display text or image and then the destination object, document, or page appears – the Web toolbar is displayed. You can click the Back button to return to the original location in your Word publication or Web page.
