Turn off Ctrl+click for users of a Word document?

I need to know how to make document navigation easier for others. I do know how to remove the need to use Ctrl+click for a hyperlink---however, that's merely an editing setting for me. I have many documents that are reference for other users and would like to allow users a one-mouse click to navigate to various hyperlinks or bookmarks in documents. Please don't tell me to have them change this setting in Word...this is really not an option. I know there must be a way because I've had Word documents from other sources that worked just fine without the need to use the Ctrl button. Thanks.

You could distribute the document as a PDF, which would make the hyperlinks clickable without the need to press the Ctrl button.
