Easy: 1. Type the text that you want to be the source of the hyperlink. 2. Select that text and use menu item Input > Create Hyperlink... (or select the text, use right-click if on Windows, and select Create Hyperlink... from the context menu. 3. In the pop-up Create Hyperlink dialog, click radio button "Other notebook or URL". 4. Type a proper URL for the file in the input field next to that radio button. Such a URL will have, for a file on your own system, the form: file:///d:/topdir/subdir/.../filename.ext Note the THREE slashes after "file:". Click OK. OR, use the browse button to locate the file, select it, click the OK button to get back to the Create Hyperlink dialog; click OK there. The key to all this is knowing the URL format for a file, and that your system knows how to open a file of the given kind. On my system, when I click such a hyperlink to a pdf file in the notebook, it opens the file in an Acrobat Reader window. Depending on your configuration, it might open it in the Acrobat plug-in for your browser.
