Possible Bug??
I come across a weird bug. When I create a hyperlink in a word document and
set the target frame to new window, it works perfectly. However, when I open the same document (in word format) from a website, it opens in Internet explorer, which is fine. When I then click on the hyperlink, it loads the hyperlinked document into the current browser window instead of a new window. Why is this happening?? |

Hi Liam,
What version of Word are you using and do you have an URL for a webpage where you're seeing this? ========= "Liam Ponder" liamDOTponderATShaw.ca wrote in message ... I come across a weird bug.

I am using Word 2003.
Here a test link. http://www.ponder.ca/test1.doc This open a word document with 1 link to test2.doc. It should open test2.doc in a new window in the browser(as it opens a new word doc in word) But it doesn't. "Liam Ponder" wrote: I come across a weird bug.

Hi Liam,
Since the document doesn't appear on your webpage I tried clicking on the link in the message here and opening the file and from the address line in Internet Explorer. Both those choices open Word (2003) with the document. Using the hyperlink in the 1st Word document opens a new Word document window to hold the 2nd one. Whether it opens in Word or the browser can depend on how the 'opens with' file associations are set in Windows Explorer by the person visiting your site (also if the visitor has Word, or the Word viewer, for example). ======= "Liam Ponder" liamDOTponderATShaw.ca wrote in message ...
