Re: Hyperlink in Office 2007

You may want to ask this in an Internet Explorer forum instead (and/or in
forums devoted to Firefox and Safari).

I don't know if I have stumbled on the answer to my problem.

It appears that some Office downloads are 'hard coded' to use IE only, so
any others such as Firefox or Safari are 'not allowed' to access that
hyperlink properly.

If this is indeed the answer to my problem, is their a way around this or
a
hotfix that can be applied?

I have now found what you where referring too.

That dialog box was empty.

The download hyperlink is still pointing to a none existant Temp folder
and
as such the download will not work.

Can you explain a bit further what is it you mean.

In the Word document, is there a "Hyperlink base" specified
(Summary tab of
the document Properties dialog box)? If so, try clearing it.

The problem I am having is a hyperlink pointing to the wrong
download
site..

I have been trying to access a list of documents ( .doc and .pdf)
via
hyperlinks in a Word based document ao the internet.

The problem is that those hyperlinks are pointing to my Temp
folder on the
C
drive (it does this if I use any browser - IE, Safari, Firefox).
When I
use
Safari the folder thats in my Temp folder changes everytime I try
and
access
that file (ie Saf32 then it will be Saf36 and so on).

My daughters Laptop using Office 2007 works perfectly.

Any ideas why its pointing to my Temp folder and how to get it to
lokk at
the correct download site?
