Problem with changing hyperlinks when burning document to CD
I use Word 2000.
I have a large document on my hard drive amounting to 155 pages. This is my memoirs which was printed but I now wish to use CDs ib lieu of a re-print. I have linked the pages using hyperlink so that one can go from the index page to various chapters and when in that chapter to go from page to page. At the end of each page one can return to the Index. The hyperlinks show the path as is on the hard drive. How can I set it up so that the links will work solely on the CD when it is burnt please? |

Can you explain exactly how you created those links? With the cursor in one link, hit SHIFT-F9: what exactly does it display?

This hyperlink points to the file itself, and not to any target within -- frankly, I'm not sure how this should work (to bring you to any place else than the very first page, that way). I would rather use Insert | Crossreference, as hyperlink. This will create a REF field with a \h switch.

I am trying to make it easier for people to read from a CD, going to chapters separateley and hopefully, once that is sorted out, to progress page by page. A tall order I think. My other thought are is it possible using Adobe? Many thanks Eric H |

You'd do better to put the whole thing in a single file and convert to PDF,
including bookmarks. -- Suzanne S.

Problem with changing hyperlinks when burning document to CD
Hi Robert
Many thanks for your help. I have now combined all of the chapters into one Word document. Can you explain how I can open each chapter from the page containing the Index. There are now a total of 110 pages without the photographs. Eric H Robert M Franz wrote I would rather use Insert | Crossreference, as hyperlink. This will create a REF field with a \h switch.

Problem with changing hyperlinks when burning document to CD
I have now managed to set up boomarks to the various chapters and all
appears to be running well. May I presume that when I transfer this file to a CD it will continue to work? Many thanks for all the help from everyone Eric H "Eric Hartup" wrote in message k...

If we're still talking about the DOC file, then, frankly, I wouldn't presume anything, but test. :-) If you've converted it to PDF, and there it works, then yes, it should not matter whether the PDF resides on your HD or CD.
