word - createng a link 1

[henin]

Hi everyone
Is it possible (and i guess it is) to add links to a word document ? by "link" i mean that one writes text in the document and if clicked (that text) another text of that same document (or could it be from another document too ?) shows up.
For example, if i write "PARIS" and at that same document there is a map of paris, once "paris" is clicked, that map show up.
Thanks

You can link to another file (for example you could link to an image file (jpg for example) of a Map of Paris, or alternatively another word doc which had maps. Or you could insert the map in another part of the same document, and when you click the link it jumps you to that page where the map is. Alternatively you could have a link to a mapping web site of Paris, though obviously the people reading it would need to have internet access.

Do either of those options seem like what you want?

You could create a bookmark at the place you want to go (e.g. the map of Paris) and then create a hyperlink to it from the word Paris in your document.

Hope this helps
