Cross-referencing between docs
Hi
I normally use Framemaker for professional docs, but I have to use Word 2003 (also Acrobat 6) for this project, so I would like some advice, please. From what I have read by searching here on PDF, I might not be able to do what I would like to do, but here goes. One word document (DocA) makes many references to another word doc (DocB). I am thinking that the easiest way to do this is to write DocA and keep it as a word file, make the crossrefs to DocB, then PDF DocB and somehow embed it with DocA, so that anyone who opens DocA from a server as a Word file and clicks on a cross reference to DocB will fire up the DocB PDF at the cross reference. Is this feasible? Is there a better way, please? Thanks Phil |

You may want to read through this article:

I found Acrobat 6 a little too unstable for my taste. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
