MS Word, paste hyperlink with text to display

I would like to know how to format a link that when it is manually pasted (in this case from Zotero) into MS Word it displays custom text (text to display) and links it to the URL, like if you copy this link (not copy as link) to MS Word Superuser.

I tried to use the reverse approach from Paste rich text with formating but it does not work.


If I understand correctly, you are trying to create a hyperlink with custom text ?

If that is correct,

  1. Highlight the text you want to hyperlink,
  2. Press Ctrl+K on your keyboard to open the Insert Hyperlink dialog in Word,
  3. In the address field at the bottom, enter the website URL, and press enter.

I tried it in Word online and on the Desktop app and it works for me. Here is a link to more info in Microsoft's documentation
