Default saving word document that will execute link after saving

OS=XP,SP2
Word=2003, SP2
All current Office and XP updates

I create a link to an executable (on our server) in Word by Right clicking
the file and draging it into my Word document. When the mouse is placed over
the link I am prompted to use Ctrl+Left click mouse. This works fine, UNTIL
I save the file as a .doc whereupon the link no longer works. The link is no
longer recognized.

Hi ?B?Q2hhcmxpZVc=?=,

OS=XP,SP2
Word=2003, SP2
All current Office and XP updates

the file and draging it into my Word document. When the mouse is placed over
the link I am prompted to use Ctrl+Left click mouse. This works fine, UNTIL
I save the file as a .doc whereupon the link no longer works. The link is no
longer recognized.

Press Alt+F9 to view the field codes (Word maintains links using fields). What
do you see inside the { field brackets } immediately after pasting the link?

And after saving the file?
