Inserting Files (word, PDF, excel) as icon

One of the features I liked in MS Word was the ability to insert a word document or PDF file as an icon that could then be clicked and opened.
I've gone through Nisus Writer Pro and haven't seen this feature. Is it possible to do the same thing?
Thanks for any help or insight!

Hi Julian- I'm sorry, but Nisus Writer does not have that feature. You can however link to a file somewhere on your disk using a text hyperlink. These kind of hyperlinks start with "file://" instead of "http://". Rather than typing in a file path yourself, you might want to use a macro, like this one:
Code: Select all
$path = Choose File '', 'Link To'
If $path
$link = "file://$path"
$name = $path.lastFilePathComponentWithoutExtension
Type Link $link, $name
End
It will ask you to choose a file to link to.
