I have a lot of documents with hyperlinks to websites. All was fine until recently when the hyperlinks stopped working, the message displayed states:-



"The operation on this computer has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

As far as I know I have not altered anything on the computer or in Word to cause this. The only change recently was changing my Anti-virus to Microsoft Essentials.

How do I correct this please?

See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/th...-restrictions/. (Note that the article is relevant even though you are getting the message when clicking links in Word.)
