Include an \n switch in the Hyperlink field's code. Look in the Word
help for the topic "Hyperlink field".

Thanks Jay for your prompt response. However this did not solve my issue.
What I'm trying to do is this: I have a Word doc that contains a hyperlink.
The doc is converted to Macromedia Flashpaper (i.e., .swf file) and loaded
into a web page. When the link is clicked, the target site opens in the
existing browser window. I would like the target site to open in a new
browser window and have the original site still open.

If you had included these additional details in your original post, I
wouldn't have answered, as I don't know anything about Flash
authoring.

I will guess that the conversion from Word document to Flash format
doesn't honor the \n switch. That's the converter's problem, not
Word's. Does Flashpaper offer any editing tools that would let you add
the target attribute to the resulting href tag?
