Embedded hyperlink doesn't work

I inserted a hyperlink in the text of a topic (via the standard MS Word mechanism). Generate Help and view. The hyperlink is there (displayed in blue text in the WebHelp's topic contents window) but it doesn't work. Clicking on it does nothing. It's just blue. Is there a trick to getting this to work?

Many thanks.

OK. Nevermind. Found "Insert -> Help Jump" in the MS-Word menu. That does the trick.

OK. I looked at this a bit further. Looking at the source within the browser shows that the link information contained in the Word document didn't make it's way to the WebHelp HTML. The resultant HTML is just this:
<P>So this Is the intro <FONT style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline;" >jump!!!!</FONT></P>

Is this a bug/feature? Is there a way to include a hyperlink in a topic?

Thanks.
