Is it possible to link a word document or pdf and have it attached to a specific point so that when you would put the mouse over the point it would become visible or pop up with that word document?
Thanks in advance for your help

I frequently print *.dwg files to *.pdf files using Adobe Pro 6 (or 9).
 
With the *.pdf (drawing) file open, INSERT PAGE, add the second, third, fourth (as many as you wish) pages.
 
Of course, the *.doc file would need to be printed to *.pdf also.
 
Pages can be arranged as required.
 
You can add links to any page, to go to any page in the *.pdf document.
Links can also be added that'll take the viewer to the www. I frequently
do this if a document is available online. Keeps the *.pdf file size down for emailing.
 
Am I on the right track? I'm sure more forum members will chime in.

Thats not really what i mean't, im doing a GIS project for uni and it needs to be submitted by electronic copy so they can view it on autocad. What i mean is like the way google maps would do it by moving you mouse over a point and some data would be shown. Sorry my explaination is not very good

You could try to insert the Word document as an OLE object.  Use command: "INSERTOBJ"  You may then choose the format from that dialog box.  From there, you can create the Word file, or choose and existing Word file to associate.  Be careful though, OLE objects don't always look very nice (graphics-wise).  Good luck!
