Links Group:-
- Hyperlink (CTRL + K):-
Create a link to a web page, a picture, mail address or a program.
The Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut is a common way to insert or modify a hyperlink in various applications. It’s a quick and efficient way to add links to web pages, files, email addresses, or specific locations within a document.
Here’s how to use Ctrl+K:
- Select the Text: Highlight the text you want to turn into a link.
- Press Ctrl+K: This will open the “Insert Hyperlink” dialog box.
- Choose the Link Type:
- Web Page: Paste the URL of the desired webpage into the “Address” field.
- File: Browse to the file on your computer and select it.
- Email Address: Type “mailto:” followed by the email address.
- Place in This Document: Select a specific heading or bookmark within the current document.
- Click “OK” to insert the link.
- Bookmark:-
A bookmark identifies a location or a selection of text that you name and identify for future reference. For example, you might use a bookmark to identify text that you want to revise at a later time. Instead of scrolling through the document to locate the text, you can go to it by using the Bookmark dialog box.
You’ve accurately described the concept of bookmarks. They are indeed a valuable tool for navigating and organizing documents.
To add a bookmark in Microsoft Word, for example, you can follow these steps:
- Select the text: Highlight the specific text you want to bookmark.
- Insert Bookmark: Go to the “Insert” tab and click on “Bookmark.”

- Click “Add”: This will create the bookmark.
To navigate to a bookmark:

By using bookmarks, you can efficiently navigate long documents, quickly reference specific sections, and streamline your workflow.
- Cross reference:-
A cross-reference refers to an item that appears in another location in a document — for example, “See Figure 1.” You can create cross-references to headings, footnotes, bookmarks, captions, and numbered paragraphs.
