Well, I've found a partial solution, but it still 
doesn't work quite right.  By using Open Office, I was 
able to create a document with a link to a web page in 
it.  However, it only works when the link is the full 
URL address.  When I try to rename the link, then the 
link only works in the OO document and not in the PDF 
file exported from that document. 

Hummm ... How can this be corrected?
