Add links to documents
In many apps, you can add clickable links to documents.
Create a link: Type a URL, and it becomes a link automatically. (If it doesn’t, make sure smart links is turned on: Choose Edit > Substitutions > Smart Links.)
If you don’t want to use the URL as the link text, select the text that you do want to use, choose Edit > Add Link or Format > Add Link, then type or paste the URL.
Edit a link: Control-click the link, choose Edit Link, then change the URL.
Remove a link: Control-click the link, then choose Remove Link. The text remains, but is no longer an active link.
Verify a link: Control-click the link, then choose Open Link.
