Default Hyperlink Error

Trying to insert hyperlinks to web pages in a Word document. I have done the
following:
Insert
Hyperlink
Existing File or Web Page
Then I typed in the http address eg:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...verview.mspx#2

The hyperlink then displays.

When I ctrl+click to activate the link I get the following message:
Unable to open (address of hperlink). Cannot locate the Internet server or
proxy server.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Default Hyperlink Error

Hi Skibee,

Does your system have a firewall that prevents Word from initiating internet sessions?
