Actually it is VERY simple. Insert the hyperlink as normal using Insert,
Hyperlink. Note at the top of the Insert Hyperlink dialog, there is a box
that says, Text to Display. Just overwrite the hyperlink with your text.
There also an option the right of the Text to Display window to customise
the Popup Tooltip display as well.
