OFF TOPIC: Inserting a Hyperlink to a PDF File

Using M\$ Office, I can successfully insert hyperlinks to PDFfiles in an e-mail message. I can also create hyperlinks in Wordand Excel to other Word, Excel, Text, Network Locations, WEBLocations, etc.

However, when I create a Hyperlink to a PDF file in Word or Excel,the linked PDF file will not open. I do not receive any errors butI do see the Adobe application flash open for a second and thendisappear.

Anyone else seeing this?
Is there a specific format for the link?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.SolidworksGeneral
