MS Access 2010 How can I open a Word document from within Access?

I'd like to be able to hyperlink to a Word document by clicking a button on an Access 2010 form. I can't seem to find a macro to do this, and I'm not familiar enough with VBA (yet) to do it. (I just starting to learn VBA.)

I know I can create a hyperlink from a field within a table, but I'd like to hyperlink to the document directly from the form.

Can you help me with this? Thanks. WallyTee

A Macro cannot "create" a hyperlink, nor can it be easily made to Follow one.
