Re: How to I make URLs in doc clickable?

Well, the problem has cleared up. I had set Firefox to be my default
browser. I went back to IE as the default, and the links in the Word doc
worked. I changed the default browser back to Firefox, and the links now
call FF, which is what I want.

However, I'm not sure that the above is the explanation. Since I posted
before I also defragged my C drive.

Thanks for all the help.
