Can I use a hyperlink in a macro?

I am attempting to create a macro within a template (Word 2003) with a
hyperlink, but I am not sure if this possible. If possible, what is
the coding in Visual Basic?

Hi Lisa,

Yes, it's possible to 'use' a hyperlink in a macro, but whether it can be 'used' the way you intend is another matter - about which
you've said nothing. Plus, the code for using a hyperlink depends on how you propose to 'use' it.

I would like to have an option button on a word template that allows
the user to click on the button and opens text from another file via
hyperlink.
