Hyperlink icons?
Hi, a colleague has asked me how to insert hyperlinks to various documents in
her word files, and make these links appear as icons (as in My Computer) with the various program logos on there (such as the X for excel). i never knew you could do this and so couldn't help, does anyone know how to do this? thanks. |

Answer: Hyperlink icons?
Yes, you can definitely insert hyperlinks in your Word documents and make them appear as icons with program logos. Here's how you can do it:
That's it! Your hyperlink should now appear as an icon with the program logo you selected. You can repeat these steps for any other hyperlinks you want to add to your Word document.

Hi Alex,
You can use Insert=Picture from File, select the picture then use Ctrl+K to create the hyperlink as one method. ========== "Alex" wrote in message ...

i want to insert a link to a document, not a picture. i just want this link
to appear as it would in My Computer, i.e. a large icon. I tried what you suggested and it didnt work, but thanks. What do you suggest now? I have seen this in a document and it links directly to the file.
