For Easy Navigation, Create Hyperlinks

After you finish writing, the next step is to add hyperlinks, which allow a user to jump from one place in the manual to another.

While the Document Map allows users to jump to the headings in your document, it’s also a good idea to add hyperlinks to the text, so users can jump to related sections and to other relevant documents. For example, the section on savings and stock plans might include a hyperlink to another document that provides current stock prices. For more information on creating hyperlinks see Office and the Web.

The Paste as Hyperlink command isn’t available   Make sure that the document that you are copying from has been saved. Want cross-references to be hyperlinks?   Just click Cross-reference (Insert menu). By default, all cross-references in the same document will be hyperlinks. Online readers will be able to jump to headings, page numbers, numbered paragraphs, table or figure references, or whatever you insert as a cross-reference. Add graphics   Word comes with a variety of clip art that you can use to make your manual more interesting. You can even create your own graphics with tools on the Drawing toolbar. For more information, see Get Your Point Across with Graphics.
