Hyperlink Error

S

Skibee

Trying to insert hyperlinks to web pages in a Word document. I have done the
following:
Insert
Hyperlink
Existing File or Web Page
Then I typed in the http address eg:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx#2

The hyperlink then displays.

When I ctrl+click to activate the link I get the following message:
Unable to open (address of hperlink). Cannot locate the Internet server or
proxy server.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Hi Skibee,

Does your system have a firewall that prevents Word from initiating internet sessions?

It could do. I'll check. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
