About This Feature
Overview
Hyperlink is a built-in document editing feature in WPS Office for Android. It lets you connect selected text to a web address, an email address, or a location inside the current document so readers can jump to related content more quickly.
You can use it to:
- insert a web link for external references,
- insert an email link that opens a mail app,
- insert an in-document link that jumps to a heading or another document position.
This feature is useful for reference documents, clickable tables of contents, training materials, and documents that collect external resources. Inserted hyperlinks are typically shown as blue underlined text for easy recognition.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An Android device that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended so all hyperlink entry options are visible |
| Network | No mandatory network is required to insert a link itself; opening a web link or sending email usually requires a connection |
| Other | You need to open the document in editing mode; in-document links require an available target location in the file |
