Default How to open hyperlink (in MSWord) in a new browser window

Hi
I want Hyperlinks in my word documents to open in a new browser window
always. Currently when I CTRL+Click a hyperlink, it opens in an already open
browser window.
How can I force MSWord to always open hyperlinks in a new window?
thanks

Isn't it ugly when any application opens a link in the browser window
where you've inserted form data for half an hour?! :-)

I don't think it's Word that decides the exact circumstances of the
opening of a link.

When last I looked at this, the following helped our sysadmin:

Hi,

I am curious if this is a problem for Windows 2000 and earlier versions
only.

Thanks Robert
That was a very helpful article. It solved my problem

Well, I did not face this problem in Windows XP so I think its problem with
Windows prior to XP only.

Generally speaking, if you press Shift while clicking on a link, it will
open in a new window.
