Previously all was OK and it worked but now I have a problem with CTRL + Click while trying to launch a web page from MS Word. I don’t know exactly when the problem began. I have administrative authority.
It’s no big deal but I found it to be more convenient than copying and pasting into the browser.
I am using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013-en-us and Firefox Quantum 60.0.2(64-bit).
I am not tech savvy so I don’t know whether a fix will be easy or complicated but I would appreciate any help. I’ve looked up the internet on the subject but it’s all too confusing.
In the EXAMPLE I have done [https://] purposely otherwise it would show up as a valid Hypertext.
EXAMPLE:
e.g.[https://]www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=weirdname
If I place the cursor at the end of the web address and key Enter, the text turns blue and underlined thus turning it into a Hyperlink.
Now, when I key CTRL + Click, I get the following message.
The Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink box is checked.
Thanks.
Edit Perhaps this should have been posted in Word. Sorry!

Thanks Hans.
First I unchecked the ‘Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink’ box in the Word Options window.
Then I selected this part from the web page via your link and followed the instructions.
Then I went back and checked the ‘Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink’ box in the Word Options window and the problem is solved.
Thanks again Hans.

Re: Problem with CTRL + Click while trying to launch a web page
I re-installed Win10/2004 this weekend and had the same problem. despite numerous warnings from [sparkle]Hans[/sparkle] ***I*** knew better and uninstalled Internet Explaorer - it is so passé!
I searched the web for This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect and tried the various RegEdit fixes:-
(1) CU\S\Classes\.html and set to "htmlfile" reboot etc.
(2) Download a registry patch, Install, reboot etc.
(3) Create a new key "DisallowRun" (after RegEdit searching and finding none), reboot etc.
(4) Add Internet Explorer back in
This page is the one I followed, but in case it has moved by the time you read this in 2042
Code: Select all
Open the Control Panel.
Click or double-click the Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features option.
In Windows 7 or later, click the Turn Windows features on or off link on the left side of the Programs and Features window.
In Windows XP or earlier, click the Add/Remove Windows Components option in the left frame.
Check the box for Internet Explorer X, where 'X' is the version of Internet Explorer on the computer.
Please note that this was done through the old-fashioned Control Panel rather than the new-fangled Settings.
