How do you insert a hyperlink in a document?

The method of selecting the text and pressing 'Ctrl + K', then entering the URL is correct for inserting a hyperlink in most word processing applications. This process allows you to easily link specific text or images in your document to an external source, such as a website.

When you use 'Ctrl + K', you're activating the hyperlink dialog box, which provides a user-friendly interface to input the URL. This makes it simple to ensure that the hyperlink is formatted correctly and associated with the selected text, enhancing the reader's experience by allowing them to click on the text instead of having to copy and paste a long URL.

In contrast, other options may not be effective or conventional ways to create hyperlinks. For instance, using 'Ctrl + H' typically corresponds to a different function, like replacing text in many software applications, and simply copying the link into the document does not create a functional hyperlink. While navigating the 'Insert' menu to add a link is also valid, the use of keyboard shortcuts like 'Ctrl + K' is generally more efficient and preferred for quickly adding hyperlinks.
