Default Inconsistent hyperlink behaviour

Prior to meetings a copy of the agenda is drawn up and posted for attendees
on our fileserver. Following the meeting, documents are produced with the
minutes for each item discussed (10 items = 10 docs). These are maintained in
a (fairly!) well managed folder structure.

Our intention is to add hyperlinks under each item to the corresponding
minutes document, so users only ever have one document to refer to. The
problem comes when we try to update the agenda.

When users click on the link the document trys (and fails) to open using IE,
unless you were the creator of the document, in which case it opens in Word.
We've checked permissions, configured the file associations as per
Microsoft's recommendations to force the app to be used rather than IE, made
sure settings on all the PCs match, tried it using different users, all to no
avail.

Only the user that created the agenda document gets linked documents opening
in Word.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please!?
