Why not convert the word documents to PDF then you link it. Because if you link a word documents and the user does not have office installed he/she wont be able to open it. So preferably use PDF

If I select a word document then go to preview view and activate the link it navigates to my folder on my hard drive. If I do the same with a Pdf it opens the pdf file.

Hello Jeremy,

The desktop window which appears is to select where to save the word file since these cannot be displayed in the browser but needs to be saved or opened with Word.

Many thanks!

Hello Jeremy,

Does it saves the doc file on the desktop so you can then open it?

Many thanks!
