Microsoft Word help

[doddy]

Does anyone know if you can create a link in a word document which opens up a separate word document?

I want the link to be displayed as text rather than a word document 'symbol' so if I send this document to someone it will open up the second document as well. If that makes sense?

​Cheers

I'm on my ipad, so can't check -but can't you select another document by typing its location instead of an URL for a hyperlink?


what about this?

Right click, hyperlink and select the file in the window AFAIK.

But say I email the 'master' document to someone, the second one won't open as it has been linked to a document on my hard-drive.

 

[jam.]

So you want to link do another document, without having the other document?

 

[doddy]

Sort of. I want to have several links from one document, then be able to email it and the links still work. Doesn't seem like it's possible though.

 

[jam.]

What about saving all the documents you need to link to some web space, so you'll be clicking real links but they'll just open the documents? Or something like Dropbox?

I think that'd work..

 

[doddy]

Yea I was trying to see if I could work it with Google Documents and iCloud. Dropbox looks to be the best option so far, cheers.

Would you know the username of the user that would open it? Or just put the document in %appdata%

 

[doddy]

No I wouldn't know the user, I don't know what the %appdata% means?
