Thank you :)   Would this work for a document that is not online and simply saved on your hard drive?

This style of hyperlinking works on web url's only.  I need to add a hyperlink for a word document that is saved on my shared drive.  How do i do this?

Adding links is not working in Jira 7.6.4, none of the methods described on this page work

This does not work.  I have the same formatting as indicated by Ann, but Upon clicking Save when editing a comment or Add when making a new one, it shows [Link Text|URL] instead of an actual hyperlink.
