Microsoft Word supports multiple types of hyperlinks inside a document, including links to outside URLs, email addresses and other places within the same document. Links between words in the same document can be useful in a table of contents, for referring to a footnote or endnote, or for providing easy access to a previous or future section of a lengthy paper.
