Microsoft word

Can you attach a word document in a word document, for example I wrote a sentence asked them to refer to the attach document and the word icon doc is next to the sentence. can this be done without the document being open.

RE: Microsoft word

Hello Christine

Thank you for your question.

You can create a hyperlink that will open the other document when the link is clicked, however this will only work OK if the person clicking on the link has access to the place where the document you have linked to is saved.

You don't have to have the document you are linking to open in order to create the link.

To create the link:
1. Select the word/s or object you want the person to click in order to access the other Word document.
2. Use Ctrl+K to open the Insert Hyperlink dialogue box (or go to Insert - Hyperlink).
3. Ensure Existing File or Web page is selected as the option on the left hand side (under Link to)
4. Use the Browse in dropdown arrow to navigate to and select the document you wish to link to.
5. Click OK.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Word tip:

Selecting objects from behind text

If you are working with an image in Word that you have chosen to send behind the document text, it can be difficult to actually select the image once it is positioned behind text.

To get around this you can click the 'Select Objects' (white arrow) button on the Drawing toolbar. This should make it easier to select the image.

Once you have finished manipulating the image, click on the 'Select Objects' button again (or press the Esc key) to be able to work with text in the document again.
