Known Limitations with MS Word Links
A cross-reference points to information in the same document and a hyperlink refers to other documents.
Links in MS Word documents that point to a heading (created with Insert → Link → Link → This document and selecting a Heading) are converted well when imported to Paligo.
The following limitations are known with MS Word links when imported to Paligo:
-
Bookmarks (created with Insert → Link → Bookmark) do convert, but are tricky as they use arbitrary anchors, which is a problem when migrating to a structured content form as the one used in Paligo, as one cornerstone is that links need to point to a content element that makes sense. They can break during import and will require manual adjustment.
-
Cross references selecting an entity in the document (created with Insert → Link → Cross reference and selecting an entity in the document) do not convert in the standard process, as they use a linking mechanism that only exists in MS Word.
