Sorry, I should have read your earlier post more carefully. The solution on
the MVP site will help, but only with external hyperlinks. For internal
hyperlinks you must have enabled formfields or bookmarks in unprotected
sections for the macro to work as a reference to one of those places.
Unfortunately, that means a place that someone can type into your document.
You could, however, format them as white in color so that no one could print
the text.
