But if I understand what you are doing here, those strings of yours are going in the
Insert Hyperlink dialog in Word? The hyperlink address will be the filename and the
subaddress will be the string after # - Word has no idea that page= has some special
meaning in some special circumstances.
To link to named destination ND1 in file apdffile.pdf you'd need something like
apdffile.pdf#ND1 (although I haven't tried it).
