[NFBCS] best method for inserting links in a Word document

[Humberto Avila]

Hello:


I echo Dr. Robinson's information previously mentioned. When the JAWS focuses on the link, as you arrow through the document, you should hear something like "link," followed by the text of the link, once you are on that link. From here, press the context menu key, usually the key that is immediately to the left of the rightmost control key on the keyboard, unless you are running Windows under a Mac book or something these may not work. But once you press this key it will bring up the Context menu, and now, you would hit letter O to open hyperlink instantly and immediately.


Hope this helps!!

No matter where you are at the following commands will work. Make sure you select the link and copy it. then go to where you want to go and type out the words you want displayed. Select those words then do a control K and just paste and enter and you are done.
here is a couple different ways to open it. Go to link then applications key and o for open hyperlink or down arrow just in case your hyperlink is not o
Or
Insert Z for cursor off or quick nav on depending on settings then insert f7 to pull up your links and arrow to it and enter it will open.

Hi everyone,
Im working on a project at home where I need to add links to various
articles and web sites.
I go through the steps of selecting the text to display and pasting the
link. I tab to the ok button, but nothing happens when I try to click on
the link in the Word document. What am I doing wrong? I thnk this process
is easier in Google Docs, but I need to do this particular project in Word.
Thanks in advance for your help.
