Add and edit links

Updated 10 Nov 2026

You can turn any word or phrase in a document into a clickable link, or insert a URL on its own. Links open in a new tab.

On a wide screen

  1. Select the text you want to turn into a link, or place your cursor where you want a new link.
  2. Click the Add link button in the toolbar (the chain-link icon).
  3. In the Insert link dialog, type or paste the address into Link address. An address without https:// gets it added for you.
  4. Press Enter or click OK. OK stays off until the address is a valid link, and Please enter a valid link shows under the field when it isn't.

Display text shows the text you selected; it keeps its formatting, so you can't change it there. With no text selected, type what the link should say in Display text. If you leave it empty, the address becomes the link text.

From the Insert menu

This works on any screen.

  1. Select the text you want to link, or place your cursor where you want the link.
  2. Click Insert in the toolbar.
  3. Choose Link.
  4. Fill in the Insert link dialog as above, then click OK.

Click anywhere inside the linked text, then click the Add link button or choose Link from the Insert menu. The Edit link dialog opens with the current address. Change it and click OK.

You can also right-click the link and choose Edit link.

Right-click the link and choose Remove link. The whole link is removed and the text stays in place. This works on links in the main text of the document.

Anywhere else, such as in a table, click inside the link and click the Remove link button (the broken-chain icon) that appears in the toolbar when your cursor is on a link.

Right-click the link and choose Open link to open it in a new tab, or Copy link to copy its address.
