Add a Document SharePoint link to a MS form

Good Morning, 

 

I'm trying to add a document hyperlink/SharePoint link to a Microsoft form but the link pastes in 'DocX' format and isn't a hyperlink when pasted to the form.

 

I am trying to add a document link to a subtitle to allow users to access it for more information to be able to answer the question - am I missing something super obvious here to be able to do this? 

 

Thanks!

    pigsinblankets I always copy & paste the SharePoint document link to a text editor first, Notepad++ for example (don't use Word for this). Then copy & paste it from the text editor into the form.

      Hi Rob,
      Thanks very much for the reply that seems to have worked! 🙂 Is there anyway to edit the display text to the hyperlink or would it have to be the full long links above?

      I've tried to amend the display text to a shorter title but I can't seem to get that to work so guessing hyperlink formatting isn't an option in MS forms?

      Thanks again! 🙂

        pigsinblankets formatting of hyperlinks is not supported in Forms yet but you can vote for it on the official https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/9d3712b1-246b-ed11-a81b-000d3ae32cd0.
