TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm only posting this publicly so people don't bombard you with replies for
the rest of the day.
By default, any e-mail address or URL entered in Word 97 and up is
automatically converted into a hyperlink. (You may eventually want to turn
this automatic linking off -- go into Tools > AutoCorrect and skulk about
until you find the option. If you'd rather have it on but want to stop one
or two links from appearing as you type, hit Ctrl-Z right after the link
appears.)
To make any text into a hyperlink, select the text and press Ctrl-K.
