Cannot create hyperlinks - browsed internet pages do not appear in dialogue box

[Elias]

The title says it all, really. When I attempt to create a hyperlink, the dialogue window opens but the space where the visited page links should appear is blank. Anyone know how I can get them back?

Did you click on the dropdown there?

I can't see a dropdown, only the scroll arrows. I should mention that I have hyperlinked hundreds of times in the past and never had this problem. The browsed pages were always listed. BTW sorry if there is a delay in my replies. I am posting from Australia.

In the Insert|Hyperlink dialogue box, the 'Address:' box has a dropdown. That said, what you see in either box might be constrained by your system's browser security settings. In any event, you can paste the desired address into the address box.

Likewise.

Didn't notice the kanga until now!

You are right about the dropdown. When I click on it, it reveals the current browsed page. I can live with that. However, I am still curious as to why the full list of recently browsed pages does not appear in the dialogue box, as formerly. I will check the security settings as you suggest. Thanks.

To add to the above, instead of 'browsed pages' the dialogue window now shows a list of items from my main drive.... 'Name/App Data/local/Microsoft/Windows/NetCache...'

Update:
Interestingly, the links suddenly started working again. The browsed pages showed up in the dialogue window and everything went swimmingly for a day or two. Then, pouf! They disappeared again. Ah, Microsoft. You teaser, you.

Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)?
