Hello - appreciate your trying to figure this out. I don't think anyone has found the exact answer.

- It does not matter if I am logged in or not, I still can not access certain pages with Word doc links.
- The form of the URL - HTTP/HTTPS does not seem to make a difference,


- This does happen on multiple PCs, my two home desktops, two personal laptops, my 2 PCs at work, my work laptop at home, the desktop PC at two friends, ....
- It does not matter what the default browser is
- The links themselves in the Word doc are FINE - no bad characters

I can create a dirt simple html doc on my PC, open that, and get to the page by clicking on a link from that.

I believe it has something to do with the page itself, that the pages that do NOT work from Word have different requirements concerning the http "refferer". At least that's my guess.

I created a work around. I created a simple html file with PHP code that reads the arguments from the URL passed in. It then dynamically creates a link, with the passed in url as the destination, and executes the click method on that.

I then put the following link in my Word doc

http://www.mywebsite.com/fb_redirect...acy.astle'

I click on the link in my word doc, it opens a browser window to my fb_redirect.html file, passes in the real url I want to go to, dynamically creates a link to that address, executes the click method on that link, and the Facebook page opens.

I've found about 16 Facebook pages that had the issue of not working from my Word doc directly, but the did work from a html doc I have on my local PC, and ALL of them work with my fb_redirect method.

I have not found any links that DO NOT work with this method.
