Save the file as "text only", and confirm your intent when it warns about losing formatting information.



Mmmm.. just for you, I dug out the Office 2000 CD that came with one of my old computers, and installed Word from it in VMware.

I had previously used WordPad, and the instructions given above work perfectly there. But with this version of Word, they do not. Instead, just use the Insert --> hyperlink menu entry to create the new links, give them full or relative addresses as shown earlier, and save as .htm format. That works here.

To link to a local word document, I just used the Browse function to locate and identify the link target ("type the file or web page name" in MS-speak), and it worked fine.

Cheers
