Add a hyperlink to text or a picture

You can link text or a picture to a web page, an email address or a file. The link stays clickable in a PDF you export.

Link text

1. Select the text you want to link.
2. Click the Insert tab, then click Link. You can also press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac).
3. In Address:, type the web address, such as pubkeep.com.
4. Click OK.

To link to an email address instead, click E-mail Address under Link to: and type the address.

Link a picture

1. Click the picture to select it.
2. Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac), or right-click the picture and click Hyperlink….
3. Type the address, then click OK.

Edit or remove a link

Right-click the linked text or picture, then click one of these:

• Edit Hyperlink… changes the address.
• Remove Hyperlink takes the link off and keeps the text or picture.

Keep links clickable in a PDF

Click File > Export, then Export to PDF. See Save your publication as a PDF or picture.

If it still looks wrong

Link is grayed out

Select some text, a shape or a picture first, then try again.

My PDF links don’t click

The PDF was probably made with Print and a PDF printer, such as Microsoft Print to PDF. Printing to PDF drops links. Use File > Export > Export to PDF instead.
