can you link to a bookmarked section of the word document

Sep 20, 2022

Hello

I'm wanting to know if its possible to have a link to a bookmarked section of a word document that will be stored on a shared location? I'm designing a course that has a large document to support it.  I wish to be able to link to the relevant section if possible straight from storyline.  Can this be done?

I'm not 100% certain if this will work for a word document, but targeting a specific point of an HTML document is done using an anchor. You define the name of the anchor, and then target that specific anchor by appending it to a URL using the hash symbol. For example, if I define an anchor (bookmark) named section01, I might then link directly to that section as follows: https://mydomain.com/mydocument.html#section01. I believe this works for PDFs and so may work for word documents.
