how do i create a link to a folder in a word document
I have a word document in which I want to insert a link to a shortcut folder
in a drive as opposed to inserting a link to a file. The folder contains several files. I want the reader of the word document to be able to copy this folder shortcut to their desktop. Can you please help with this query? |

I want the reader of the word document to be able to copy this folder shortcut to their desktop. Surprisingly, when I drag/drop an existing folder shortcut from my Desktop into a document, Word 2000 creates some kind of object -- and double clicking it really brings up and Explorer window of the desired folder (after a macro warning message). I would not want, however, to test this out with the multitude of versions/SPs/SRs of Word and OS there are, and would expect this approach to fail more often than not (at least when it should work cross-platform). Does this folder point to a file server? Are you planning this for an unknown user group, or for folks in a clearly defined (server) environment? If the latter, you could tell your admin to adjust the users' desktop and place the folder there directly. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
