To link your document to a website or another document, you may use hyperlinks. When doing so, make sure that the Hyperlink has context and describes where it leads. It should not just read “click here”, and should make it clear what the destination of the link is (example, the web link https://flemingcollege.ca/ should be written as Fleming College).

However, if you are creating a document that is intended to be displayed both electronically and in print, you may want to include the URL and a description in the link text. For example, “Queen’s University (queensu.ca).”

When linking to a file, indicate the format and document size for example: Fleming College Strategic Plan 2024 – 2029 (PDF – 12.8 MB)
