Hyperlinks oistrakhan 4/28/2007 9:46:02 PM I thought one of the key points of Office 2007 was integration between programs. I entered a hyperlink to a document in Word 2007 in a note in OneNote 2007. When I click on it it comes up with a warning message - EVERY TIME. This rather defeats the object which is speed. Can this be disabled? In Outlook it is worse - you have to go through TWO dialogue boxes before you can get where you want. If you add a hyperlink to a website none of this happens. Surely files on your own computer, within Office, are likely to be more trustworthy than websites? I've looked for a way to disable these warnings - but can't find one.

There is some registry hack to "fix" this but I don't know what it is. This has been discussed to death with MS apologists offering all kinds of skewed logic. In my opinion it boils down to MS trying to create the APPEARANCE of security. For some reason they also are living under the delusion that EVERYONE will buy their products and therefore everyone will be e-mailing MS office files all over the place like paper in a ticker-tape parade. This makes them think that many of the files you have on your computer will not be known to you.

Re: Hyperlinks oistrakhan 4/29/2007 3:42:00 PM Thanks for this. In fact, since writing, I found the registry hack on the Outlook board - but I will never, ever do that. At least now I know I'm not alone. I am using The Unofficial Guide to Outlook 2007 by Marc Orchant and, in 600 pages, he fails to mention this! Or, if he does, it has escaped me.

You have to stay on their good side in order to keep your access to the internal experts. So if you tell too much of the truth then you loose your access and it is almost impossible to get a book written in a timely fashion. Others, who have maintained their access by playing nice, will come out with books sooner and your's won't sell. I'm sure some of the Most Vocal Proselytizers will disagree but I don't listen to them much anyway.

How-to-books done in collaboration with Micros**t, or under the MS press logo, have always been notorious for their lack of useful information, and so have a lot of books written by allegedly independent writers. Can anyone suggest a *good* and *useful* book on Outlook (or OneNote) that could take the place of the manual that should have come with the program and that doesn't suck up to Redmond? --Fred Powledge
