Yes.  Here's the syntax:

file://C:\MyPath\MySubPath\MyDocFile.doc 

This will start MS Word and load the file, assuming that DOC files are
associated with MS Word.

In general this works for all file types since it's a general hyperlink that
gets passed to the OS.

I cannot tell you what happens to the link when you publish the plan page,
though.

Hello,

I run emacs (21.3) and windows.  Is it possible for me to create a link in
my project file to a Microsoft Word document (file extension .doc) so that
when I click on it, it launches Word to open the target file?

Thanks,

Mirko
