How do I add a hyperlink to specific location in another document

I have a word 2003 document that I want to insert a hyperlink in. I want
that hyperlink to go to a specific location within another Word 2003
document. There is a bookmark at that location; however, I can't figure out
how to configure the hyperlink to get it to jump to that bookmark.

For example, I want to jump to Chapter 4 of Document 1 (where I have a
bookmark we'll call Chapter4). I create a hyperlink in Document 2
(Insert>Hyperlink) and browse to the path and filename of Document 1. After
that, I'm stuck with what to do. Help says I can use a switch, like \l but I
obviously have not been successful in formatting it correctly (and there are
no help examples of using that switch).

Please help and thanks.

Highlight the word in your document that you want to be hyperlinked.
Select add hyperlink, when the box opens, select the document that you want
to link to, then, should see on the right hand side a button called
"bookmark" -- click on that button and a box will open with a list of all the
bookmarks in the linked document, click on the bookmark you want to jump to.
Click OK, then click OK again. The word in your original document should now
be a hyperlink. Hold Ctrl and click the link to see if the document jumps to
the correct place in your linked document. Good Luck.
