Use Hyperlinks to Jump to Information Online

When you include an inserted or linked object in a file, you duplicate information that exists elsewhere. When you use a hyperlink, you provide online users with a way to jump to information that exists elsewhere. The information could exist elsewhere in the same document or in another document.

The biggest advantage to using hyperlinks is that you can connect to information from any source, not just to information on your local drive or network. For example, you can jump to documents or pages on the World Wide Web or on your intranet.

Important   How you create a hyperlink and what you can create a hyperlink to vary among Office applications.
