I'm trying to create a hyperlink that will point to a document and have it go
to a specific location inside that document? I can't write to the document
specified. How would you do this? Thank you.

Thank you,

Hi Jun,

It can't be done by a hyperlink without writing to the target
document. Word's only mechanism for going to anywhere except the first
character of the target is to specify a bookmark, using the
filename#bookmarkname syntax in the URL.

An alternative might be a macrobutton field that launches a macro,
which opens the target document and then goes to the desired location,
probably with a Selection.Find command. The macrobutton could be
formatted with Hyperlink style to make it look like a hyperlink.
