Link ms word hyperlink to a place in the document

Question

While trying to create a ms word document programmaticly, i came across a problem:

I am trying to find (without success) a way to create a HyperLink or something else that will do the work, that will navigate the user to another place in the document

A place can be a bookmark or some other paragraph object i inserted before

In the word application, i select a text, right click, press hyperlink and point the link to a "place in the document"

I cant find a way to it in C#

help?

Cross reference is the term you're looking for, which might make googling easier. I think you'll need Range.InsertCrossReference. — Stefan

Beside adding a CrossReference, there is also the possibility to use hyperlink

although the hyperlink is said to link to web url's, it can also direct to you to in-document text by using it like this:

        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph oPara2;
        object oRng = oDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oEndOfDoc).Range;
        oPara2 = oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add(ref oRng);
        oPara2.Range.Text = "Heading 2";
        oPara2.Format.SpaceAfter = 6;
        oPara2.Range.InsertParagraphAfter();
        oDoc.Bookmarks.Add("BookmakrName3", oRng);


        object oAddress = "#BookmakrName3";

        //Add text after the chart.
        wrdRng = oDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oEndOfDoc).Range;
        wrdRng.InsertParagraphAfter();
        wrdRng.InsertAfter("Click here to jump");
        wrdRng.Hyperlinks.Add(wrdRng, ref oAddress);

Note that there is a '#' before the bookmark name in the address given.. this is the trick
