Hyperlinks are now a fundamental part of almost any document type. By providing links that are clearly labeled and easy to find and use, you make your document more navigable for everyone.

Tips for providing good hyperlinks

• Underline links so they are easy to distinguish from the surrounding content
• Avoid generic link text such as "Learn More", "Click Here", or “Go”; instead, use descriptive text like “Spring Orientation Schedule” or “View Nondiscrimination Statement”
• Do not use the URL as link text in digital or print documents; place it AFTER the link text
• If you an image as a link, the ALT text becomes the link text
• If you combine image and text to make a link, place both in the same link container
• Links to the same resource should use the same or similar text
• Use links only for navigation; do not use links as buttons or buttons as links
