How can we help you?

You can add a link to a web page, an email address, a place in the current document, or other file to a document.

Insert a link to a web page or email address

MyOffice Spreadsheet recognizes and makes active links that start with www, http, https, and email addresses.

Examples of the links:

www.website.ru

http://website.ru

https://website.com

mailto:user@domain.ru

user.name@domain.com

A link such as mailto:user@domain.ru may also contain a subject line, the text of the email, and email addresses for sending copy and blind copy. For example,
mailto:user@domain.ru?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc= user2@domain.ru&body=This%20is%20the%20body.

To avoid errors when you click links, it is recommended to specify the protocol in the URL. For example, http://website.com.

The link can be displayed in the document as follows:

URL: For example, http://www.website.com.

Text: For example, link.

To add a link to your document as a URL, do one of the following:

Enter the link manually and press Space or Enter.

Copy the link from the source. Switch to the cell edit mode, insert the link and press Space or Enter.

Copy the link from the source. Switch to the cell edit mode and press Ctrl+Shift+V.

To add a text link to a document, follow these steps:

1.Copy the link from the source.

2.Specify the place to insert the link in one of the following ways:

To link the entire text in a cell, select this cell.

To format a single word in the cell text as a link, place the cursor in the word or select the entire word.

To format a part of the text in a cell as a link, select the entire text part.

To insert a word or text with a link to an empty cell, select the cell or place the cursor in it.

3.Insert the link in one of the following ways:

In the Command menu, select Insert > Link.

On the Toolbar, in the Insert section, click t_more button. In the insert pane that appears, click t_insert_hyperlink Link.

Right-click to open the context menu and select the Insert Link command.

Press Ctrl+K.

4.In the Insert Link window, on the Web Page or File tab:

If the Address field is blank, paste a link into it. By default, the link copied from the source in the first step is automatically inserted into the Address field.

If the Text field is not filled in, enter the text that will be displayed instead of the link. By default, text from the selected cell or the text selected in the cell or the word on which the cursor is placed is automatically inserted into the Text field.

Click OK.

When you save an .ods document in .xlsx format in a cell that contains multiple links at the same time, only the first link remains functional.

Insert a link to a place in the document

To help you navigate through particularly long documents, you can also create links to a specific place in the document, for example, to a sheet, a cell, a range of cells, or a named range.

A link to a place in a document may contain the following elements:

Sheet name. For example, Sheet 2.

Name of the sheet with the cell or range address. For example, 'Sheet 2'!A3:A6.

Name of the named range. For example, Range 1.

Any other text. For example, see here.

To create a link to a place in the document, follow the steps below:

1.Specify the place to insert the link in one of the following ways:

To create a link with the sheet name and cell address/range, select an empty cell or, if the cell is not empty, place the cursor in the desired cell position.

To add a word or text with a link to an empty cell, select the cell or place the cursor in it.

To format all text contained in a cell as a link, select the cell.

To format a single word in the cell text as a link, place the cursor in the word or select the entire word.

To format a part of the text in a cell as a link, select the entire text part.

6.To insert a named range reference, click the Named range radio button and select the desired range from the list below.

7.In the Text field:

If the field displays the sheet name and the selected range and you want to create a link with the sheet name, leave the content of the field unchanged.

If the field displays the sheet name and the selected range but you want to specify the link text, enter the required text manually.

If the field is filled with text from the selected cell or text selected in the cell, or a word on which the cursor is positioned, edit this text if necessary or leave it unchanged.
