Hyperlink will not open in a target which is a named browser windo
If I create a hyperlink that has for target the name of the browser window in
which I want my link to open (ex: "MyBrowserWindow"), when I click on that link, it will open it in a window with a blank name and will not open it in my window called "MyBrowserWindow". However if I do the same thing by inserting a similar link (ex: a href='http://www.microsoft.com' target='MyBrowserWindow'Microsoft/a) in a html file opened with a browser (or an editor other than a Microsoft Office application), when I click on the link, it will open in a window named "MyBrowserWindow". This is the desired result. Is there a way to make the hyperlink in Word open in the desired browser window. Thanks. -- Leroy |

Thanks Robert for the reply.
I get the the same result with a hyperlink in a .doc file in Word or an link in an html file opened in Word. When I click on them the browser page that opens doesn't have the name of the target that I specified. When I try to view the hyperlink in the field code format by pressing Alt-F9, the hyperlink appears as such: {HYPERLINK "http://www.microsoft.com" \t "MyBrowserPageName"} Why are we allowed to enter a customized name for the target if it is not meant to open in a browser window with that name? Is there a field code switch other than \t that would allow the link to open in the right browser window? I have the same results with links in a html mail message in Outlook.

Is there a field code switch other than \t that would allow the link to open in the right browser window? I have the same results with links in a html mail message in Outlook. The underlying problem might be: the target property is meant for the browser to interpret and act accordingly. IE knows what to do with it (which you can test by opening the HTML file, generated in Word, in IE). But Word and Outlook don't seem to have a facility for this. So it's either use the browser and specify your targets, or don't bother. :-/ 0.2¢ Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Thanks Suzanne for the link to your very nice site and Robert for your reply.
As suggested by Robert, I will consider that hyperlinks in Word or Outlook will not have this expected behavior (to open in a browser page with the name specified in the target).
