Referencing another document

Referencing another document

[Nigel King]

Guys,
I have been searching for how to specify another document (.pdf) to open
from the source document. The only method I have found is using \useURL etc.
which bring up the web browser as an intermediate step. Please con somebody
direct me to the correct method.

TIA

This example is from the beginner's manual, page 86.

\useexternaldocument[hia][hasbook][Hasselt in August]

Most tourist attractions are described in \from[hia]. A description
of the Eui||feest is found in \from[hia::euifeest]. A description of
the \goto{Eui||feest}[hia::euifeest] is found in \from[hia]. The
eui||feest is described on \at{page}[hia::euifeest] in \from[hia].
See for more information \in{chapter}[hia::euifeest] in \from[hia].

David,
Thank you very much, I thought I had got beyond the beginner's manual but
obviously I haven't......

Nigel,

Nah, I just happened to have read it recently for the umpteenth time and
knew where to look.

Another question on the same subject. One of my referenced documents is not
pdf but actually an Excel Spreadsheet. Is there any way that can be opened
automatically in Excel?

(1) \goto{spread your sheets}[program(whatever.xls)]

(2) embed it as attachment (see mail archive)
