Microsoft is making it much easier to add hyperlinks in Word docs

Microsoft is making it much faster and easier to add links to text inside Word documents. Instead of opening a menu item to insert a link or using the CTRL + K keyboard shortcut, you can now simply paste a link on top of the text you want to hyperlink.

This new feature reduces the amount of clicks required to perform everyday tasks like linking URLs, and it works on the web, Windows, and Word for Mac. This is similar to how WordPress lets you quickly insert links from any other content management system and text editors. Now we’re waiting for Google Docs to join the club.

Microsoft has started rolling out this feature to all Word for web users and you’ll need version 2511 or later of Word for Windows, and version 16.104 or later of Word for Mac.
