TECH: “MSFTWORD” … you can’t make it point to a specific html file?

Entertaining little "feature".

I have an html file. Actual lots of them. Representing alumni pages. I wanted to create a word doc html that would display their name and be clickable to their underlying page on my hd.

No problem.

Take the properties of the file, c:\yadayady\alum1.htm, and paste it to the html doc, hit the space bar, and WORD makes it a link.

Hole CNTL and tap the link.

(Should be "no prob" right? Buzz Wrong. Not in Microsoft land where all rules of common sense do NOT apply!)

You can't, or at least I couldn't make a link to anything but "C:\".

Now that's really useful! Sigh!
