A common editing task is copying information from one document and pasting it in another. By using a minor variation on pasting, you can actually cause your pasted information to appear as a hyperlink in a document. To paste information in this manner, follow these steps:
The information appears as a hyperlink in the document. If you click on it, you are taken directly to the spot in the original document from which it was copied. (In Word 2002 or Word 2003 you need to hold down the Ctrl key as you click on the hyperlink in order to follow it to the original document.)
