A Microsoft Word document may take many forms, such as a standard letter, brochure, multi-page newsletter or even a postcard. When a reader views a Word document from within Word, you can offer the option for readers to plot their own course with clickable links. Readers can jump from section to section of the document, to gather more information or learn as they go.
Step 1
Open Word. Click the "File" tab at the top of the screen. Select "Open." Browse to the document to add the jumps to and double-click the file name.
