Wouldn't something like that be blocked with default security settings?

On my version Word asks me if I'm sure...

dluby:
I managed to get a batch file to work that launched the command with parameters, but Word does warn you about the possibility of the file containing a virus and the command prompt window stays open until I close the utility!

kfitting:
Yeah, we set security to low.  I know it sounds silly and naive but we arent concerned about security in this case... but, it appears that you cant get word to correctly launch hyperlinks with commandline parameters.  We couldnt even get the file to launch if you have the parameters in the link.
