Default Setting a hyperlink within a document to open in a different w

No it doesn't. It automatically sends you to the hyperlinked area in the
document.

Does Word even give you the option of opening as a copy or read-only?

Hi Suzanne. Thanks for the tip. It has helped me navigate through the

field
codes, however, in this case Word will not allow me to open the same

document
with the same file name once the hyperlink is activated. I think that I

have
found a way around the problem, bu tit may be useful for te people at MS

to
come up with a solution that will allow a user to either split the window
automatically once the hyperlink is activated or open up a "temp" or

"ghost"
file which a user can use to view the hyperlinked section while still
keeping the same place in the original document.

Cheers

I have set a hyperlink in a document. It works just fine. My question

is
this; Is there a way to open the section where the hyperlink is in a

new
window, without losing my spot where the hyperlink is located?
