You can only insert a hyperlink into an HTML message. To paste a link from the clipboard into your message, on the Edit menu, click Paste. However, if you paste a link into your message in this manner, you can't edit the link text. The link text will be the address of the link.
. Current Folder displays all files that are located in the same folder location as the current document. If you want to have the selected link you're editing link to a document located in this folder, simply locate the file and click on it. This will change the 'Address' field to reflect the document location on your computer. The 'Text to display' field will also change to the file address, so you may want to edit this field to change the text that will be displayed in the Word document.
Browsed Pages shows a list of recent documents and Web pages you have accessed. You can select one of these as the new link destination. Recent Files displays a list of recent files you've worked on in Word. This is handy if you're working on a series of separate documents by letting you create links to them quickly.
Attaching a template on a Mac is a ride through the Valley of Death anyway, because Word uses explicit paths. On the Mac, that contains the HDD name, which is different on every computer. So your template link will fail on every computer. This may be why your attaches are failing. The only sane way to do this is to send the template and get the user to save it in the same folder that contains the document (NOT a subfolder). If the template is the correct name, and in the same folder as the file, Word will attach it at document open and will not look further for other templates. NOTE: This checkbox will NOT delete any styles from anywhere.
So if there are crud styles int he document, they will stay there. You need to use Organiser to hook out unwanted styles from a document. Usually, it's quicker not to bother: simply create a new document from the correct template, copy the text from the bad document, and paste it into the new document. Only the styles actually used on text will survive the copy, so assuming the text is formatted OK, the crud styles will be left behind in the old document. I think I would get out of the habit of attaching templates if I were you (I HAVE gotten out of that habit). Microsoft has fairly comprehensively broken the template mechanism over the past few versions, each one slightly worse.
These days, there is almost no chance of getting them to work. Templates are not useable in the web versions of Word, they do not survive a document management or content management system, they don't survive email, they don't survive a Mac, and in the latest versions, they won't function unless they are digitally signed with a commercial security certificate.
