Creating hyperlinks in Outlook on the web

We ran across a cool little tip this week that pertains to Outlook on the web. Instead of having to click a hyperlink icon to add a link (or use CTRL-K to get a dialog box), you can just highlight the word in your email and paste the link over it… voila! You have a hyperlink! Here’s how that works…

Here’s an example email… This is how I’ve been creating hyperlinks… highlight the word/phrase and click the Insert Hyperlink option. I would then paste the URL into the dialog box to get the link created:

Or… I could just highlight the word/phrase and press CTRL-K and get the pop-up box to paste in my link:

But now, I can just highlight the word/phrase and paste the link directly on top of the highlighted text. It becomes the hyperlink I wanted without any additional steps!

This type of hyperlinking is due to come out to other parts of Microsoft 365, so keep an eye out for it!
