Kathy, Put all the files in one directory. Make sure that all the links are relative. Zip the lot and distribute as an .exe package. All the user has to do is open the top doc.

E.g. * Document 1 - The key document - containing topic summaries, and hyperlinks to 15 documents * Doc 1.1 - word document with linked SmartDraw pictures (not objects) * Doc 1.2 - word document with linked SmartDraw pictures (not objects) * .....etc ...Doc 1.15 Our Techs simply suggest copying all documents, testing links and burning to CD, however I would like to make this arrangement look a bit smarter if possible. Any suggestions ?
