Hi,
I'm using MS Word 2007 and couldn't find an answer using Google.

I looking to create a simple document in Word that is basically a Table
of
Contents where the reader can click on an item and it opens a
corresponding
pdf or chm file. Simple enough. I want to put all the files into a folder
and copy this to a CD that can be used on other machines. I can't find a
way
to make the hyperlinks relative to the location of the folder. Any ideas?

I don't care if it is in Word or Excel, better something that is html or
pdf. I'd rather not have to purchase another program just for this task
though. I have Office Professional and Adobe CS3 if that helps.

I think HTML is a better choice than word for a document that
consists wholly or mostly of links.

But where are the files this opens up?
The way I understand it, it's not a website, where a file called "Tax
Advice" would be uploaded and open when the link clicked.
But, it would be a file on the same CD that would open when a name in the
table of contents is clicked. I have seen pdf docs like this, and some where
it doesn't work (and you have to look at the page number and go through the
pages manually to find it)
I think in a document, at least one in html- on a website it would be
called "jump to"? You put a target word above where you want it togo to,
when the link is clicked, and then set up the link to "jump to" that target,
and thus the info you want to come up.
I could do this on an html page, uploaded to a website, but don't know how
to do it in a plain document, either on a screen or (as this question asks)
on a CD that others could use.
Maybe I don't have it right?
I am used to making html and websites, and using links and occasionally
"jump to" but don't know how to do it just in a document (or one on a CD)
Maybe putting in a search "jump to links in document file".
Now I'm curious to know the answer, as it would come in handy to be able
to do this within a documnet, that isn't uploaded to a website as html.
