As administrator I can't open hyperlinks

[DanielC]

Hi,

I just upgraded to office 2003. When I went to a Word document with a list
of hyperlinks and clicked on one (ctrl + mouse) I got the message that I
didn't have the authority to do this. In fact, none of my hyperlinks work
now. I am the administrator and I haven't changed anything. I'm using Widows
XP professional.
Can anyone help?

Hi, first of all I would like to emntoin thatyou have oisted to Mac group.
However, some people here, work cross platform.

First I would like to know whether these hyperlinks are to some web page or
pointing to another file somewhere at your Hard drive. If they point to some
place at your HDD, if you have your file system NTFS then you can set
different priviledges to different folders - I have just Win XP home where
you can set just priviledges of I think 4 folders, but you have more freedom
at Pro.
Could that be your case?

If the link is poiting to some webpage tahtthe browser should start
automatically - if not this could indicate to brokem association.

Do you have updates installed - there's SP2 availbale for office2003

You should post the question in a Windows-oriented newsgroup, perhaps
microsoft.public.word.application.errors

So first explore the target of the links either by using CTRL+f9 which
should reaveal you the fields codes or ether by looking at hyperlink at
context menu (right mouse click)

Thanks for your reply! Appreciate it a lot. I just posted more details on
my problem, but I'll summarize them here. After upgrading from Office 2000
to 2003, I initially didn't have problems opening any hyperlinks in Word (or
Outlook) whether to documents on my computer or to webpages. However, after
getting MS Office 2003 updates, I tried to click on hyperlinks that initially
worked but suddenly didn't anymore. I have all the updates because I just
went to MS update page and let it check my computer. Everything is there. The
funny thing is that WordPerfect X3 can open the hyperlinks in the same
documents that Word can't. Strange...

Hello Daniel,

Can you try these things?

First: Check that word is set as your HTML editor:
1. Click the Start button on the taskbar, point to Settings, point to
Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.

2. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Programs tab.

3. Under Internet programs, in the HTML Editor box, verify that Word is
listed as the HTML editor. If it is not, select Word as your HTML editor,
and then click OK.

Second:
1. Run Internet explorer>tools>internet options>programs> check the check
box "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default
browser"

--
If the above will not hepl, you might try to run detect and repair function:
There`s a function Detect and repair at Word Help menu, try to run it - just
note this will affect all Office programms backup all your templates,
personal.xls, Xlusrgal.xls, your outlook *.pst file

You solved my problem! Thank you so much for your help! Word was not checked
as the HTML editor nor was Internet Explorer my default browser. Somehow
Google had become it. Maybe when I was trying out Modzilla. Anyway, it is
working now. Thanks again!

Dear Daniel,
glad I could help and that you posted back - it will help for the others who
will search for solution to know that it worked.

I suggested to set IE browser as your default because you haven't mention
which one do you use so I target for the "standard". If you wish to use
Mozilla, you can, I use it FireFox without problems. Just change the default
browser to whichever you would like and just make sure word is still set as
your default HTML editor. And that's it.

If you will have any PC trouble in the future, feel free to post - You will
find me here, however, my knowledge is ultimate, so I might not be able to
help you, but we can always try it, can't we?
