Hyperlinks launch wrong application
I'm using Word 2002 (with XP) on a spreadsheet with hyperlinks pointing to
..jpg files located on my D: disk. When I click on the hyperlink in Word, it opens up IE instead of my picture viewing application (Irfanview). If I click on a .jpg file from Windows explorer, it opens in the correct application. I've tried the hyperlink on other computers, and it will either open the .jpg inPhoto Editor, or Internet Explorer, or the correct application. I've changed the advanced settings in the Windows Explorer in Tools=Folder Options to specify Irfanview, but nothing changes. How can I make Word hyperlink lauching Irfanview and not IE? |

I'm not sure this is possible: it seems Word behaves here much more like a browser, not like your OS. Can you test what happens with the same link in an HTML page opened in your IE?

You must know that I have the same problem in Word, Excel and PPT. On my previous laptop, the hyperlinks were opening in Photoed instead of IE. Thanks for your quick reply. Daniel |

Then I would hop over into a newsgroup for IE and ask them whether registering Photoed as the app to launch JPEG will solve your problem (and how to do that :-)).
