Running an external command from with Microsoft Word?

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to insert a link to run an external command from within Microsoft Word (2003)?  I'd like to run a command/utility (or whatever) in a similar fashion to the way you can insert Hyperlinks to other documents.

Thanks

Damian

You should just be able to add a hyperlink to a file in the normal manner:

What about commandline arguments?  Like try to open an excel document with some commandline options... I couldnt get that to work.

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

Perry Mowbray:
The best I could do was to create a shortcut with the commandline options in the shortcut and add that as the object of the hyperlink.

Messy  :(
