How to make word add https://?

Question

When I type www, word inserts hyperlink by adding http://

How can I change it to add https://?

Answer 1

This is probably just a "left-over" from the time when most URLs were using the http protocol rather than https.

Reporting it is a good idea.

Answer 2

Thanks, I submitted a feedback.

Best,
