Which of the following shortcut key is used to insert a hyperlink in MS Word ?

MS Word assigns a dedicated keyboard shortcut to many of its frequently used commands, so a user can trigger a specific action instantly without navigating through the ribbon or menus.

The command that inserts a hyperlink in MS Word is triggered by pressing Ctrl + K. This opens the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box, where the selected text (or the current cursor position) can be linked to a web address, an email address, a file, or another location within the same document.

• Alt + X converts the character code immediately before the cursor into its Unicode character, or back into its code, and has no role in linking text.

• Ctrl + S writes the current document to its existing file (or opens the Save As dialog box the first time a new document is saved); it does not create any link.

• Ctrl + F opens the search box in the Navigation pane to locate a word or phrase in the document; it also does not insert a link.

Since only Ctrl + K opens the hyperlink-insertion dialog among the given options, it is the shortcut for this task.
