Embedded Hyperlinks in Word doc

[Johnz]

I'm a struggling newbie..created a Word doc with hyperlinks in the doc that
call pdf files. When running Word natively everything works ok. Built a
simple htm to call the Word doc. Everything ok but when the pdf is closed
the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the Word doc. I want the cursor to
go back to the link so the user won't get lost. I suspect I should be
opening the pdf in a separate window (?) but don't know how since the link
is actually in the Word doc, not the htm. How can I make this work?

This is a cd based page, won't be published to a server. Sort of a catalog
(the Word doc) with supporting documentation in the pdf's.

Thanks in advance....
