Every time I click on a hypertext link that's in Word or
almost everything else, it starts up Netscape. i would
rather have IE or MSN open the link, but can't find ant
help topics on how to do this.

Thanks!

It's not a Word setting; you have to make IE the default
browswer in order for hyperlinks to use it. In IE, click
Tools-> Internet Options-> Programs, and check the box
labeled "Internet Explorer should check to see if it is
the default browser." Then close IE and reopen it. You
should get a prompt asking if you want to make it the
default. Answer yes. Now try your Word hyperlinks.
