Hyperlinks

I have documents on sharepoint in which I have created a document library. The Library consists of hyperlinks to these documents which are very long. As this library is created in Word, is it possible to overwrite the long hyperlink names with something shorter, but still take me to the same place?

RE: Hyperlinks

Hi Ava

Thank you for your question.

If the hyperlinks are in a Word document, then you can amend the text that the hyperlink is attached to and the hyperlink should still work.

If you right-click on one of the hyperlinks, then choose Edit Hyperlink from the menu.

In the Text to display: area at the top of the dialogue box you can delete the text and replace it with the text you want displayed. Where the hyperlink points to is shown in the Address area at the bottom of the dialogue box.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Word tip:

Using the Find feature outside the Find dialogue box

To access the Find dialogue box, press the F5 key. Type in the word you want to find in the document - the first instance of this word in the document will be highlighted.

To find further occurences of the word in the document, you can actually Cancel out of the Find dialogue box.

Once you do this, the two double-arrow buttons at the bottom of the scroll bar on the right of your screen will have turned blue. You can use the double-arrow buttons to jump between instances of the word in the document.
