Nowadays, affiliate links are found everywhere. They are used in websites, emails, folders, … even in Microsoft Word documents.

An affiliate link helps us open up another useful resource without having to include the entire content of a page or directory. And with versions of Microsoft Word, creating such a link is extremely simple with just a few simple steps.

First, we choose the word, text or image to insert the link

1. Insert a link to the Website

After selecting the word, or image to insert the link link, in the editor window, we choose Insert, then select Link and select Hyperlink , or we can right-click and select Hyperlink (or use the combination Ctrl + K keys).

In the Insert Hyperlink window we choose Existing File or Web Page , and select Current Folder

Here, we set the following properties:

• Text to display: Link display content
• Current Folder: The current directory.
• Browsed Pages: Last opened file pages.
• Recent Files: Current files.
• Screen Tip:   The content of the screen tip will be displayed when you hover over the affiliate link.
• Address : The name of the path address.

After setting the properties, we choose OK to finish the installation process.

2. Create a link to the file

The same operation as for inserting a link to a website, after the Insert Hyperlink window appears, we choose Place in this Document

In the Place in this Document window, we choose:

• Top of the Document: set the link position to the top of the file.
• Headings: set the location of the link to the heading contained in the file.
• Bookmarks: set the location of the link to the highlighted text line.

After the selection is complete, we choose Ok to finish the installation.

3. Create a link to a newly created file

We do the same thing as for inserting a link to a website. Choose Create New Document

In there:

• Text to display: Link display content
• Name of new document: Name the new file.
• Change: Change the location of the existing linked file.

After making the selection, select Ok to finish the installation.

4. Create a link to an Email address

The same operation as for inserting a link to a website, after the Insert Hyperlink window appears, we choose E-mail Address

• E-mail Address : Email address to go to
• Subject: Title name
• Recently used e-mail address: Displays the most recently used e-mail address.

After the installation is complete, select OK to finish the installation

Note:

To delete the created link, use Ctrl + Z to cancel the action you just made

Good luck !
