6.11.5.5 Using hypertext “message” commands for external links

Mif2Go produces links to external sources from hypertext markers in your document that contain the following types of hypertext “message” commands:

message URL

message openfile

When a message openfile link specifies an absolute path (which must start with a drive letter), Mif2Go removes any “file:///” URL prefix to the path, which is not needed in RTF. For example:

message openfile file:///g:/omnisys/ug/out/ugmif2go.pdf

becomes (in Word 2003):

{\*\fldinst {HYPERLINK {g:/omnisys/ug/out/ugmif2go.pdf}\\n }}
