Including a Word Document in RH

[V Jordan]

I have a Quick Reference Cards section in RH, where a link to the PDF file is provided (and the PDF file is included within the larger RH file). Today, I was asked if I could do something similar for another section only the file would be a MS Word file. Is this even possible?

V Jordan,

If what you're asking is whether you can link to a Word doc from HTML, the answer is yes, just as you would link to other files. I seem to remember from linking from HTML to Word docs in the past that an Open or Save message comes up when you click the link. As long as the Word file is among your RH output files and your link is accurate, it should work (unless you're generating to a CHM, in which case I don't know if that would work the same).

My final output is actually FlashHelp. So it sounds like this should work.
