I am using the "save as web page" feature in Word 2000 to create a simple list of hyperlinks, to be viewed in a browser. Is there a way within Word to specify that any hyperlinks that are clicked should open a new browser window, rather than opening the link in the existing browser window? I'm looking for a cross-browser solution.

Thanks,
King Dufus
 
Well, after poking around a bit, I came up with a solution for Windows:
1. Right click over the hyperlinked text
2. Select "toggle field codes" which will display some html code that you can edit.
3. add the following text after the url:
\t "_blank"

for example, the html text might look like this:
{HYPERLINK " \t "_blank"}

When viewed in a browser, this link should open in a new window.

Oops, somehow a stray semicolon appeared after the url in the previous post, it should not be there.
