All,

The above example shows how to create an external hyperlink. For those who need to create an internal hyperlink, see below code:

XWPFParagraph hyperPara = document.createParagraph();
hyperPara.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
addHyperlink(hyperPara, "Hyperlink Text", "Heading Text");



private static void addHyperlink(XWPFParagraph para, String text, String bookmark) {
     //Create hyperlink in paragraph
     CTHyperlink cLink=para.getCTP().addNewHyperlink();
     cLink.setAnchor(bookmark);
     //Create the linked text
     CTText ctText=CTText.Factory.newInstance();
     ctText.setStringValue(text);
     CTR ctr=CTR.Factory.newInstance();
     ctr.setTArray(new CTText[]{ctText});

     //Create the formatting
     CTFonts fonts = CTFonts.Factory.newInstance();
     fonts.setAscii("Calibri Light" );
     CTRPr rpr = ctr.addNewRPr();
     CTColor colour = CTColor.Factory.newInstance();
     colour.setVal("0000FF");
     rpr.setColor(colour);
     CTRPr rpr1 = ctr.addNewRPr();
     rpr1.addNewU().setVal(STUnderline.SINGLE);

     //Insert the linked text into the link
     cLink.setRArray(new CTR[]{ctr});
}
