Thanks for the info. I tried using a dummy field and it works. One last

If it could work for regular hyperlinks then why wont it work for links to
specific places in documents. Do I need to make fields to the links? What
is
your suggestion? or Microsoft word is not capable of doing this? Is your
answer is unclear.

I have a protected document with hyperlinks that apparently doesnt
work. I
seen the other Q/A's on your site but mines is different since the
links
are
connected to other places in the document. Is it possible to fix this
problem?

rogerj -

I, too, have the same problem. Were you ever able to resolve this and find
out what is meant by a "dummey" field?
