| Creating Hyperlinks in MS Word | ||
| This document demonstrates the steps involved in creating hyperlinks in MS Word documents. This process may be very helpful during the creation of lesson plans. | ||
|
The first step involves 1)
highlight the name of a video, for example the video
Why Teach? |
||
|
2)
Right click on the highlighted word
Why Teach?
Scroll down and Left Click on “Hyperlink…” (see below) |
||
 |
||
| 3) In the “Address:” window, copy and paste or type in the URL (or location of the video either in the computer or external drive) of the video that you wish to hyperlink to (see below). | ||
 |
||
|
Here is an example of the
link-
Why Teach?
Please note that this link requires a connection to the
Internet for access. To
access the video, hold down the “Ctrl” button and click on the link
Why Teach?. |

| You may also link to a video that you have downloaded to your computer or external drive. To accomplish this, you should first download a video to your computer or external drive. It is also important to download the video into a location on your computer or external drive that will not change. If you change the location of the video, you will need to change the links on the Word document to match the new location. For classroom use, this is the best and most reliable method to use. | ||
 |
||
| It is also important to consider the format in which you download the videos. The classroom computer that you use may only support MS Real Player. Because of this, you should download and save the videos in the “MP4 Format" format. In addition, it is suggested to create sub directories to save your videos and documents on an external drive. When creating documents, be sure to use the external drive that contains the videos and documents. | ||
