    I seldom leave a response, however i did a few
    searching and wound up here MS Word – How to Insert a Web Link into a Word Document | Technical Communication Center.
    And I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of these comments look as if they are written by brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I’d like
    to follow everything new you have to post. Could you list
    of every one of your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin
    profile?
