Microsoft Word Documents

Explorer allows you to create links to Microsoft Word documents. You can also create links directly to Word bookmarks and to sections within Word documents that use certain paragraph styles. For simplicity's sake, all of these types of sections are called “headings” in Explorer. You can create a link to a section of a Word document if it meets one of the following conditions:

  • The section uses one of Word's nine pre-formatted styles called "Heading 1" to "Heading 9."
  • The section uses Word's pre-formatted style called "Title."
  • The section uses a customized style that is based on any paragraph style whose Outline Level list box (in Word's Paragraph dialog) is set to one of the levels ("Level 1" to "Level 9") and is not set to "Body Text." When a paragraph style's outline style is set to one of the levels, it indicates that the style is a type of heading rather than regular text.

If a linked Word document contains bookmarks or headings, you will find them stored in a Bookmarks folder and a Headings folder included with the Word document. If a link goes directly to a Word bookmark or heading, in the Links tab of the Explorer dialog you will see the Word document's file name, followed by the bookmark's name or the heading's name.
