Inserting Basic Link Into Word
I have a Word (2003) document, and I'd like to insert a link to a PDF
file in the same folder, which when clicked will cause the PDF file to simply open as if it was opened by conventional means (as opposed to displaying the contents *in* the Word doc). I'm using 'insert hyperlink' and am able to select the target PDF file, and this gives me what looks like a link in my Word doc. But when I mouse over it, it doesn't show a finger or an arrow. If I right click and select 'open hyperlink' it doesn't do anything. What is the right procedure (if anyone would be so kind)? |

What is the right procedure (if anyone would be so kind)? Not a hyperlink, unfortunately. Click Insert Object, choose the From File tab, and use the Browse button to locate the PDF file. Check the boxes for "Link to file" and "Display as icon". Click OK. The result is an icon in the document, which you can double-click to open the PDF file in your default PDF application. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP * * * *FAQ:http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
