Relative HyperLinks
Sat, 22 Mar 2008 15:20:09 -0400 from Michael Gerbasio
: Hi, I'm using MS Word 2007 and couldn't find an answer using Google. I looking to create a simple document in Word that is basically a Table of Contents where the reader can click on an item and it opens a corresponding pdf or chm file. Simple enough. I want to put all the files into a folder and copy this to a CD that can be used on other machines. I can't find a way to make the hyperlinks relative to the location of the folder. Any ideas? I don't care if it is in Word or Excel, better something that is html or pdf. I'd rather not have to purchase another program just for this task though. I have Office Professional and Adobe CS3 if that helps. I think HTML is a better choice than word for a document that consists wholly or mostly of links. pa href="taxadvice.pdf"Tax Advice/a/p pa href="movierev.chm"Movie Reviews/a/p -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

But where are the files this opens up? The way I understand it, it's not a website, where a file called "Tax Advice" would be uploaded and open when the link clicked. But, it would be a file on the same CD that would open when a name in the table of contents is clicked. I have seen pdf docs like this, and some where it doesn't work (and you have to look at the page number and go through the pages manually to find it) I think in a document, at least one in html- on a website it would be called "jump to"? You put a target word above where you want it togo to, when the link is clicked, and then set up the link to "jump to" that target, and thus the info you want to come up. I could do this on an html page, uploaded to a website, but don't know how to do it in a plain document, either on a screen or (as this question asks) on a CD that others could use. Maybe I don't have it right? I am used to making html and websites, and using links and occasionally "jump to" but don't know how to do it just in a document (or one on a CD) Maybe putting in a search "jump to links in document file". Now I'm curious to know the answer, as it would come in handy to be able to do this within a documnet, that isn't uploaded to a website as html. |

I found this http://blogs.keystonelearning.com/in...7blog/2007/04/ I see someone else posted an answer here, too I would think, too, you would save the files you want to open in the ones compatible with the older versions of Word. Just a thought. Now I'm going to print out the answers and try it out myself. |

In the same directory (I mean "folder"), just as you asked. Please trim quotes when following up -- at a minimum you should remove signatures. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
