Enter a hyperlink by pasting text from a Microsoft Office document

1. Open the Microsoft Office document that you want to link to. For example, open a Microsoft Word document.
   
   
2. Select the text that you want to link to.

   Note   By selecting text, you can create a hyperlink to a data access page but not other Microsoft Access objects.

3. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
   
   
4. Switch to Microsoft Access and do one of the following:
   • In a Microsoft Access database (.mdb), open the table or query in Datasheet view.
     
     
   • In an Access database or Microsoft Access project (.adp), open the form in Datasheet or Form view.
5. Place the insertion point in the hyperlink field in the datasheet or in the text box or other control that accepts hyperlinks on the form.
   
   
6. Click Paste on the Edit menu.

   Microsoft Access adds the hyperlink to the field or control. On a form or datasheet, you can click the hyperlink to open the target document or Web page.
