A hyperlink is a piece of text or an image in a document where if you click on with your mouse button you are taken to another document or another part of the same document.

Hyperlinks are primarly used on the internet and provide the main form of navigation around the world wide web.

However, you may also come accross hyperlinks in other applications/programs such as word or excel documents.

You can normally tell if something is a hyperlink (or commonly abbreviated to link) as when your mouse cursor goes over the link text/image it will probably turn from a pointer into a hand.
