Hyperlinks - broken on open of doc
Hello, I have quite a few links in my .doc and have found that when I save
and close then reopen the links are broken. I have read a few posts and have the check box Tools|Options|General "update automatic links at open". The hyperlinks only work when I insert them and until I close the file out. Once it reopens they are broken. Why are the links broken and how can I fix this? thank you using Office Pro 2003 XP Pro SP 2 |

Hyperlinks - broken on open of doc
Hello Graham, thank you for the response. I am sorry about my late reply. I
encountered an issue with the reply form not appearing after hitting "reply". I reinstalled IE 7 and now it seems to work. Spent about 3 hours on this. Anyways, I hope this problem does not happen again. I followed your advice below and it works for any new links however my old links still do not open. After clicking it says "CAnt open specified file". I thought that I cdould repair the old hyperlinks by Edit|Links and then Update Now but the links are not there. Any ideas? thank you "Graham Mayor" wrote: Uncheck - tools options general WEB OPTIONS Files Update Links on Save. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Velo wrote: Hello, I have quite a few links in my .doc and have found that when I save and close then reopen the links are broken.

Your old links won't revert. They have already been changed. You will have
to reinsert the links.The tip was to prevent them updating inn the first place not to change them back again! if you are using the web interface and the reply form doesn't appear you are probably suppressing pop-ups. It is much easier to access this newsgroup directly - http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Velo wrote: Hello Graham, thank you for the response.

Graham, thank you. IN regards to configuring Outlook to read newsgroups, I
do not have Express but instead use Outlook. I do not have the "News" option in Tools|Customize|Go. Whats next? thank you "Graham Mayor" wrote: Your old links won't revert.
