Microsoft is making it a lot faster and easier to add links to text inside Word documents. Instead of having to open a menu item to insert a link or use 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 you need to do an everyday task like linking URLs, and it works across Word for the web, Windows, and Mac. It’s similar to the way WordPress any many other content management systems and text editors let you quickly insert links. Now we’re just waiting on 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 of Word for Windows or later, and version 16.104 of Word for Mac or later.
