A Microsoft Word document is open with a sales report displayed. A green box is highlighting the insert tab on the ribbon menu. A second green box is highlighting where the link dropdown menu is. The dropdown menu is open with one arrow pointing at the option to insert a link and the other at a blank space on the document where to insert the link.
