I guess so. I do have a workaround - I copy an existing hyperlink and can then edit the file that opens from that link and the display name. That in effect creates a new hyperlink.

I also get the oddity that at least a couple of times a week, when I start an Office programme, I get a window saying 'Microsoft Office needs to install new features' - not that I have changed anything at all in the interim. This happens so often that I copied the installation disc to my hard drive and whatever it is that the programme feels it needs to install runs automatically now without the hassle of my having to put the disc into the DVD drawer..

Just a curiosity rather than a major annoyance, but it shows that there is something wrong with my installation - as I say, a complete uninstall/reinstall makes no difference, so yes, probably a bug using Office 2002 in Win7 x64.

Thanks for trying to help,

Martin
