This is a set of handy VBA routines to do, amongst other things, just that sort of job. If you can write a macro to select the strings you want to turn into links, you can then call a routine in the library to make a link to the place of your choice - in the same document, or another, as you want. > Any tips, hints, 3rd party tools, or documents of any kind that can > help us would be very much appreciated. > > TIA, > > Raymond Weisling > Yogyakarta, Indonesia > > To change your subscription: > http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html > -- Matthew Fitzgerald Byte Ryte bv Oudegracht 219 NL 3511 NH Tel: +31 (0)30 2380023 Fax: +31 (0)30 2380076 http://www.byteryte.nl To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
