In Word 2010 can and how do I hyperlink telephone numbers?


Will they work if someone has 2003 or 2007 versions?
If not, is there any 3rd party software?

To what would you hyperlink the telephone #s?

I should have explained it better
Can I link the phone numbers in Word and then make a PDF and then load it onto a cell
Or do I have to JavaScript each number in the PDF
Never done this before so I am not sure which is the best approach
The Word file is the base document so any future changes happen there
Any advice would be appreciated

AFAIK, tags such as:

<a href="tel:1-847-555-5555">1-847-555-5555</a>

only work with HTML on smartphones. Not Word, although possibly 2013...I don't know. Ditto for it working from a PDF.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
I googled something similar earlier
I just wanted to make sure.

FWIW, Skype includes an Addin that automatically 'interprets' numbers in Word that look remotely like phone numbers, so you can click on them to call the number. A real PITA IMHO.

Frankly I would avoid add-ins from Skype.

But it's a Microsoft product now, isn't it, so it must surely work perfectly with other Microsoft products <rofl>

Yeah...right.
