Hyperlinks in Tables
I'm getting the following message when I attempt to bring up a link within a
table: "Unable to open http://www.gmacbank.com/. Cannot locate the Internet server or proxy server." When I created this table a few weeks ago, I could not get any of my inserted hyperlinks to activate by double-clicking them but they would open using the "Open Hyperlink" menu. Today I manipulated the table a tad by inserting a column then resizing everything. After that, I had trouble with the hyperlinks. No mater what I do - including deleting them and reentering them - I can can't get anything to link from the table. Everything else on the computer works fine. I'm accessing the net as I type this while looking at the last notice I received from the Word table. I'm using Word 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2 |

Hyperlinks in Tables
I think that you don't want to open that link while selecting it or
double-clicking on it. You can try changing when option see if this one helps you: 1. click on Tools - Options 2. click on Edit tab. 3. Check "Use CTRL + Click to follow the hyperlink" if this is unchecked. Let us know.

Hyperlinks in Tables
I was unaware of the need to hold down the Cntrl key. Nonetheless, that
didn't have a bearing on the problem; there appears to be an inability to find a server. I tried inserting a hypertext link into an Excel spreadsheet and everything works fine. I've been doing this for years but suddenly - just with WORD - this message began appearing. I was wondering if it could have something to do with an autofill type function. I did recently check "smart cursoring" I believe just to learn what it does. I haven't seen a benefit as yet; the little box pops up from time to time when I type something it finds in my address book but I never want to use it. If that's all there is, I'll probably turn it off. Aside form that change, the only other one I can think of is I added BCM (Business Contact Manager) to Outlook. I DON'T connect to that SQL server that one can get involved with if one chooses; there's only me here. I'm exploring the other functions of BCM and have found application for several so I plan to continue using it. There may be some possible link here between Word and BCM and that SQL server. I really don't know enough about that since I had no need to get involved. Perhaps when BCM was installed, it threw some switch anticipating I would be exchanging documents through the service and something got stuck or I failed to "notify" Word somehow that I wouldn't be using that channel. I'm stumped. I can hyperlink in Excel fine and I've done so in the past in Word as well. This is a very recent development. I've run antivirus checks and I'm clean. "rajkohli" wrote in message ...
