Hi,

I have a feature which I would like to use in MS Word.
I have some bookmark in MS Word document defined for example with this field { SET myref "myref_text" }.

Also I have an image in SVG or PDF format which can contain hyperlink at defined location.

Can I import such image in MS Word and retain the hyperlink? If yes: what has to be the hyperlink address in order to point to "myref" bookmark?

I'm using Microsoft 365 Apps for business

Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2609 Build 16.0.20430.20032) 64-bit.

Regards, Lukas.

    PDF is not a picture format in Word for Windows. Instead, consider using SVG or EMF vectors formats.

    You can add a hyperlink to the picture that connects to a bookmark. Select the picture, then choose Insert>Link>Place in This Document, then select the bookmark.

    I'm not aware of any method to import graphics with a Word hyperlink already attached.
