Hyperlinking across Word documents into RoboHelp

I hope this is in the right forum ...

I author documentation in Microsoft Word and then import into RoboHelp HTML (v11 & generating in the Multiscreen HTML5 layout).

I have multiple word documents and a lot of hyperlink in those word documents.

Some documents have hyperlinks that reference locations in different documents.

At the moment, when I import Word documents, the hyperlinks that reference locations in a different document break (dont work) which causes a great deal of work for me to find and fix.

Is it possible to have a hyperlink in Document A link to a spot in Document B and have it stil work after the documents have been imported?

In short, no there isn't Kate. When a Word file is imported, the content is built into one or more .HTM files. The link in the word file at the point it is converted may not know what file name will be created, especially if the referenced section comes after the link.
