hyperlink and richtextbox

I've created a RTF file using Microsoft Word. Within that file are internal
hyperlinks to sections of the document. I'd like to use it as a help file.
When I place the file into a RichTextBox control within a form the hyperlinks
no longer work. Is there some way to allow these links to continue working
within the control? I was hoping to use these method as an easy help system
for my tool.

This is not something i've messed about with much to be honest, however I do
know that there is a LinkClicked event. You can use the e.LinkText property
inside the handler to at least get that and act appropriately with the data.
Such as launching a browser with that url etc.
