There are hyperlinks in a lengthy Word document. When I press on the hyperlink, I can get to the passage, but then when I want to go back to the original text, I cannot.

Welcome Maggy!
I've used Word:Mac for a long time and that is not an issue I've encountered.
As MS Office is not an Apple product and there are not as many Office users active here as one would think, I believe you will be better served by asking in Microsoft's Office forums. MS Office questions posted in these forums tend to linger a long time before getting any kind of helpful response.

To get the fastest help there, be sure to post the version of Office/Word you have, and what macOS version your mac is running (from "About This Mac..."
