Accessible Word: Hyperlinks

Adding links in a document is a great way to provide sources of additional information however, using an entire URL link is not an accessible method. Instead, create a descriptive phrase of where the link directs to (this should not be “click here”) and link the descriptive phrase to the resources.

How to Create a Hyperlink in Word

  1. Type out a phrase to be selectable. This should be a phrase that is stand alone and is not a generic phrase like "Click Here".
  2. Highlight link phrase.
