I created a document in Word 2010 and saved it as a PDF file. The document contains several hyperlinks to various websites.

When viewing the PDF file all of the hyperlinks work but each of them opens in the same window/tab in my browser. (When I click a link in the PDF the web page opens. When I click the next link in the PDF, the next web page opens in the same window/tab in my browser.)

Question: Is it possible to create a hyperlink in Word 2010 which causes the web page to open in a new browser tab? I *think* this can be done using the “Target Frame” option on the Insert Hyperlink menu in Word but I’m not sure about that or which option to choose.



Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Peter

The Target Frame option should work, but I'm not sure how it works with PDFs. Just try it.

You can use "_blank" as the default target frame for creating content in a new browser window.
