Is there a way I can hyperlink from one Word document to another, so that it
lands on a specified page? How about from a Word document to a specific page
in a PDF document?

Thanks.

Yes to both. You can set a hyperlink to target a bookmark. Bookmark the
destination, save, then in the source use Insert Hyperlink; select the
target document; then click the Bookmark button on the hyperlink dialog.

Thanks for your reply, Jezebel. However, I was hoping I could just specify a
page number though. I'd prefer not to have to set up a bookmark for each page
just to jump to a page number. Seems cumbersome and messy if the pagination
changes later with updates.

Also, bookmarks are not the same thing in PDF. In PDF one has to set up
"names destinations" which I'd prefer to avoid. I don't think there's a Word
equivalent to these that would be transferred cleanly in a file conversion,
unless I've missed something.

You avoid the changing pagination problem by bookmarking the actual target,
rather than the page. In any case, hyperlinks to specific pages will be
wrong as soon as your pagination changes, anyway.

Yes, bookmarks ARE essentially the same thing in PDFs (as on web pages), and
they DO get transferred when you convert your document to PDF. Although
you'll have to update the hyperlinks anyway, because the target document
itself has changed.

I'd love to know what you're using to convert, then. I've tried using a
PDF-conversion utility, and a colleague also did a test-convert using Acrobat
6. The only links that translated at all are www-links, not internal links or
links to a local file. Even when I set up a bookmark in Word, it does not
show up in the bookmarks in the PDF. Only standard Headings show up as
bookmarks, but I'm trying to create an Index so it's not detailed enough.

I use Acrobat.
