Creating Hyperlinks in Microsoft Word

In a Microsoft Word document, you can insert hyperlinks by copying and pasting the document's URL from:

  • Financial Reporting reports or any files located in the Explore Repository

  • Any file from Oracle Universal Content Management

When creating a book, all POVs from all reports (reports specified in FRExecute and hyperlinks) are included in the appropriate chapters.

Note:

When selecting a doc or html document containing hyperlinks in Book HTML Preview or PDF Preview, the contents of the hyperlink are not displayed, even if "Include Related Content in HTML Table of Content" is set.

To create hyperlinks in a Microsoft Word document:

  1. From the Explore Repository, right-click a Financial Reporting report or file, and then select Properties.
  2. In Properties, to the right of the SmartCut label, copy the document's URL, and then exit from the Explore Repository.
  3. Open your Microsoft Word document. To paste the URL, right-click inside the Microsoft Word document where you want the link to display, and then select Hyperlink.
  4. In Text to display, enter the description that you want associated with the link.
  5. In Address, paste the URL that you previously copied in the Explore Repository, and then click OK.
  6. Save the Microsoft Word document as a .doc or .html file.

    Saving the document as an .html file provides better performance.
