Re: How do I allow hyperlinks in Office documents?

[Roger]

Trying to get on-line help for a Word 2007 problem I get the "This operation
has been canceled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact your
system administrator." when I click the link.
Running Win7 64 bit.

All the links and KB I can find refer to XP and or older versions of Office.
The "Reset Web" instruction in kb 307818 id not an option under IE8.
