Students get an error when trying to open links from MS-Word file
- Error reads: “”this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer”.
- Immediate workaround:
- right-click on the link, choose copy, open a web browser window
and paste the link into the address bar, browse to it from there.
- File / Save as / Web page. From where you saved the web page, double click to open it in the your web browser, click the links form within there.
- Have you tried saving your MS-Word files to the new SkyDrive.live.com (login with your NINERNET password) yet? Students can choose to open MS-Word documents in either MS-Word or their web browser which should also bypass the problem.
- right-click on the link, choose copy, open a web browser window
- Solution: Investigating. Seems related to no “default browser set” in XP Control Panel / Internet options. If you cannot live with the workaround, do ask your System Administrator. Or stay tuned
