Hi,

I'm using WORD as a software cross reference and jump from 1 program to the
other and sometimes i lose that "web back arrow", so i'm wondering if there
may be a way to intercept the hyperlink function right before it gets
activated? ie when i click a hyperlink, right before it jumps, i'd be able to
call another function to capture the "from" document name. Maybe there's
something like "on hyperlink" event command possibly? , so if i lose that
"back arrow" i can find the previous document in a list that i generate via
that "on hyperlink" call function?

Thanks very much for an ideas!

Or maybe i can somehow capture the document name up front, ie evertime a
document opens, mabe there is an automatic function like "on document open"
and that's when i could capture the name?

Thanks again!

Hi,

for "on document open" see:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/AppClassEvents.htm

Or, though security settings got me in deep trouble
and I don't know what I did to ocercome them:

Option Explicit
Dim DocFullName As String
'---------------------------------------
Sub Test001()
DocFullName = ActiveDocument.FullName
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow
End Sub
'---------------------------------------
Sub Test002()
Documents.Open (DocFullName)
End Sub
