Yes. Select Insert Hyperlink. In the Hyperlink dialog box, below €śLink to€ť,
click €śExisting File or Web Page€ť. Browse to the desired PDF file and select it. Note that you can display another text in Word than the file path by typing the desired text in €śText to display€ť. You can also add a ScreenTip that appears when you rest the mouse over the hyperlink. Click OK when finished. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Neil" wrote: Is it possible to create a hyperlink in Word that will direct you to a pdf document? |

When I do that, the hyperlink is inserted, but when I click on it, Adobe
opens for a split second and then disappears, not opening the document.... "Lene Fredborg" wrote: Yes. Select Insert Hyperlink.

Hyperlinking to a pdf document
The link should open the PDF file without problems (if, e.g., Adobe Reader is
installed€¦). However, I have sometimes seen that the Adobe Reader window becomes minimized at once. You should then see Adobe Reader in the Taskbar (the bottom of the screen) from where you can access it. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Neil" wrote: When I do that, the hyperlink is inserted, but when I click on it, Adobe opens for a split second and then disappears, not opening the document....

Hyperlinking to a pdf document
Lene,
I don't even see it in the task bar. It looks like it launches, then closes immediately... When I click on it and then do a ctrl, alt, delete, and then select task manager, Abobe doesn't show up as running.. Any other ideas.

I think that you have checked the following:
- That you can open the PDF file directly in Adobe Reader without any problems. - That the path inserted in the hyperlink is 100% correct. Unfortunately, I have no other ideas of what could cause the problem. Hope you find the answer. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Neil" wrote: Lene, I don't even see it in the task bar.
