Now it’s hard to imagine the Internet without links from one site to another. Of course, it’s easy to copy the link and paste it into the address bar, but it’s much easier to click on the link and immediately find yourself on the right resource. This greatly speeds up the search for information not only on the Internet, but also in various documents.
Despite the fact that hyperlinks everywhere look the same - the text of the link is highlighted in blue and underlined by a solid line - the process of adding hyperlinks to VK or Word is different. These differences are due to the fact that the processing of the source code of documents is carried out by different programs, each of which has its own special algorithm of work.
Key Terms
Before you understand how to make a hyperlink, you should understand the basic terms.
A hyperlink is an element in a document or on a site, when clicked, a transition to another part of the document or to another site is performed. According to general rules, the color of the link is blue and is underlined by a solid line, however, on sites, the display style can be changed.
URL - URL of the page. A URL is not always a hyperlink because it can be written as text and not be active. That is, when you click on it, a transition to another resource will not be carried out.
Anchor - link text. Anchor text can be any. The link itself may also be an anchor. In this case, the link is considered unincarnated.
Hyperlinks to VK
Let's start with the elementary. “How to make a hyperlink to VK?” - One of the most frequent questions of users of social networks, the number of which is growing steadily. And the layout of links is far from clear to everyone.
The design of hyperlinks in VK differs depending on which page the hyperlink is made to:
- to an external site;
- to the internal pages of a social network.
To the internal pages of VK
It is more profitable for a social network to create more pages and communities on its open spaces. Thanks to this, users can find all the information here, without going to other resources, and therefore the social network is growing profit from advertising. That is why to find the answer to the question "How to make a hyperlink in the" VK "?" very simple. The social network has done everything to simplify the task for users.
To create a hyperlink in VK there is no need to register the whole address of the link, it will be sufficient to write only its ending-identifier. This identifier can be digital or text.
A hyperlink using an identifier can be created in several ways:
- Using @. Thus, the link will look like this: @ identifier (link text)
- Using square brackets. The link will look like this: [identifier | link text]
To external sites
With links to internal resources, everything is extremely simple, but how to make a hyperlink to an external site?
There may be some difficulties with this, because VKontakte does not allow you to place a link in the form of text, like on internal pages. Thus, we can only use an un anchor link, either with an automatic anchor, or resort to the image, making it an anchor.
Let's take a closer look. Automatic anchor will be used when inserting the URL into the post, it will be presented in the form of text, which is the title of the submitted page, and a picture, if any, on the site.
If we refuse automatic anchor by clicking on the cross in its upper right corner, we will get an un anchored link.
The third (and most interesting) way is the anchor in the form of a picture. To do this, we naturally need an image, but here it is important to consider that it should be at least 537 pixels wide. So, we insert the link into the post, we have an image, as in the previous version. We need to replace this image with the one that we prepared in advance by clicking on the camera icon in its upper left corner. After that, the link itself can be deleted. As a result, we get the picture we selected, by clicking on which we will go to the link we need.
How to make a hyperlink in Word
Another important point. In text documents, links are used quite often to go to the right part of the document right away without wasting time looking for it.
Making hyperlinks in Word is quite simple, just a few minutes is enough for this. First, we need to highlight a text that will become anchor. That is, when you click on which the link will be activated.
Next, we need to click the right mouse button and select "Hyperlink".
After that, in the window that appears, specify the address of the necessary link. Click OK.
As a result, the previously selected text will turn blue and underlined with a solid line. When you hover over this text, a link will pop up and a suggestion to press Ctrl to go through it.
You can delete a hyperlink by right-clicking on it and selecting "Delete Hyperlink".
In presentation
We learned how to make a hyperlink in Word, you can also do it in any other document, for example, in a presentation.
In presentations, as a rule, all the data is written in the form of abstracts, the rest of the more detailed information is told by the speaker. In some cases, in order to more fully disclose the contents of the presentation, hyperlinks are used.
You need to select the desired slide and select on it an image or text that will act as an anchor, click on the right mouse button and select the "Hyperlink" item.
Paste the link text and click OK. Just like in the case of the Word.
Such links are called direct. Making a reverse hyperlink in a presentation, like a direct one, is very simple. In fact, this is the same link, only it is used to go to the first page of the presentation. Or back to the original page.
Hyperlink in Excel
Often, users have the question of how to make a hyperlink in an Excel document. This is also nothing complicated. You must select a cell that will be used as an anchor, select it, and after clicking on the right mouse button, select the "Hyperlink" menu item. Next, specify the address of the link and click OK. Thus, making a hyperlink in Excel is as easy as using a Word program.
Task
Links are necessary in order to search for information on the Internet or a document as simply and quickly as possible. Link building is no big deal. Even an inexperienced user can figure out how to make a hyperlink.
