Hyperlinks in an emailed word document

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a word doc, which has hyperlinks that map to bookmarks in the document.

They work perfectly in word however I want to send this doc as an email - so
I go to File then Send to then Mail Recipient, as I do not want to send the
doc as an attachment.

Before I send the email I can see that the links work perfectly.

When I receive the email however, the links now opens the My Documents
dialoge box looking for an .exe file.

Help!!

Try asking this in an Outlook newsgroup. I'm guessing that the bookmarks aren't
retained when the Word document is converted to HTML (that's what happens when
you don't send as an attachment). But the Outlook people can probably tell you
for sure.
