    While using Report Templates in DsWord, you can also add hyperlinks to Word documents which can navigate to any specified web URL. 

    For example, consider a template layout for Document Solutions products which are added in a table.

    A Hyperlink is added to {{linkName}} field by clicking on 'Link' in 'Insert' tab and adding a template tag {{ds.linkURL}} (here ds is the name of data source), into the Address field as shown below:

    Consider the following sample data:
