I have created a PDF file from a main Word 2007 document. <br />
<br />
Embedded within the main Word document, and subsequent PDF version of that main document, are hyperlinks pointing to separately created PDF reference files that reside in a different folder.<br />
<br />
When a link is clicked in the main Word document, the PDF reference file opens in a new Acrobat window like it's supposed to. However, when the same reference link is clicked in the PDF version of the main file, the reference file opens in the same Acrobat window as the main PDF, and not a different window as desired. &nbsp;This forces the user to close the reference file in order to navigate back to the main PDF doc.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to adjust Acrobat settings that will open all links in a new window?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
