Hyperlink an attachment in Outlook
Is there a way to insert a hyperlink to an attached file in an outlook
email? Say for example, we have a PDF file with information we want a client to see. However, we would like them to be able to open it while reading the email instead of saving the PDF file and opening it manually. Thanks, Greg |

Hyperlink an attachment in Outlook
I'm not sure who a hyperlink will avoid the need to open the pdf (it can be
opened from the preview pane) - if you want it to display in the message body as part of the message, no, you can't do that. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I believe what he wants is the ability to click on a piece of text (in this
case the company name) in the message and have the PDF file come up automatically. Instead of the recipient finding the attachment and manually opening it. I guess the only other way to view it would be to send the reader to our website instead. Thank you Diane. "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ...

ok - to do that you put the pdf on a webserver the recipient has access to
and include a link to it, just like you would on a web page. It's possible to include the pdf in the message and link to it using a CID reference but the attachment should be under the message subject so it won't be hard to find as an attachment either. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
