URL in Word Doc does not work: Page Cannot Be Found
I have the same problem using Windows XP and Word 2000. This has also been
reported to me using Windows XP and Word 2003. The URL i'm trying to reach is: http://w1.boschrexroth.se/servlet/pa...40&language=de If I try to open the same link from Open Office and it's work fine, but not from MS Word. I have also try to open: http://eessl2.webex.com/eessl2/j.php?J=655491600 and it's also work fine from Open Office. Starting Internet Explorer from the DOS-prompt also work: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://w1.boschrexroth.se/servlet/pa...40&language=de The problem seems to be in Word 2000 and 2003 and how it's handling Internet Explorer, or?

Presumably this is a security feature. When you enter the address directly into your browser, the REFRESH behaves as intended. A properly written REFRESH will include enough of a delay for users to know what is going on and (for situations like this) text such as "This page has been moved. If you are not automatically directed to the new page within x seconds, click here," with the new URL linked to the "click here." Note that when I tried pasting the URL in IE, the page I ultimately reached was in fact https://eessl2.webex.com/eessl2/mywe...%2526Action%25 -- Suzanne S.

Using Word and IE, after cut and paste or typing the following URL into a Word doc, clicking on the URL goes to Page Cannot Be Found (Cannot Find Server) http://eessl2.webex.com/eessl2/j.php?J=655491600 Refreshing IE or typing the URL directly in the address bar resolves the issue and finds the site. Why does the first click on the URL in the Word Doc not work. |
