opening link and or URL in Word

[Laura]

why can't i open links and or URL's in Word. I keep getting an error window
saying "there is no program registered to open this file".

 

[Laura]

Do I need to uninstall MS Office 2007 and reinstall it?

What browser do you use? Is it configured to be the default? Can you open
links from elsewhere (in emails, for example)?

All I can suggest is that you open Control Panel | Internet Options |
Programs and make the necessary choices to ensure that IE is your default
browser.
