Opening a Word document link directly in Microsoft Word allows users to access and edit the document without having to download it first. This can be useful when collaborating on documents with others or when you need to access a document that is stored on a shared drive or website.
To open a Word document link in Word, simply click on the link. If Word is already open, the document will open in a new window. If Word is not open, the link will open Word and the document will open in a new window.
