Part of Microsoft Office 98. This extension enriches Web pages and Word publications that others read online by inserting hyperlinks to other items. The hyperlink can jump to a location in the current document or Web page, to a different Word document or Web page, or to a file that was created in a different program. You can even use hyperlinks to jump to multimedia files, such as sounds and movies.The destination the hyperlink jumps to can be on your hard disk, on your company's intranet, or on the Internet, such as a page on the World Wide Web. For example, you can create a hyperlink that jumps from a Word file to a chart in Microsoft Excel that provides more detail. A hyperlink is represented by a "hot" image or display text -- which is often blue and underlined -- that the reader clicks to jump to a different location. Without this extension, you can not have hyperlink feature in your Microsoft product.
