why doesn't ctrl+click on hyperlink open it without getting out of word
Up till yesterday, I used to press ctrl button and then click on a hyperlink to open it in the browser(google) without having to jump into the browser. The word remained open and the page was opened in the background and when I needed to read it I would go to the browser. Since yesterday when I put the cursor on the link and click on ctrl, the "finger" cursor on the link turns into a line and nothing happenes. I am very frustrated. I don't want to click on each hyperlink, then jumped into the browser, then have to get back to word again. |

Have you, in Word Options, checked the option to use Ctrl+Click to follow a hyperlink?
00 deleteme 3.png If you do not checked that, then a simple click follows the hyperlink. If something that looks like a hyperlink doesn't do anything, then it is not a hyperlink even if it looks like one. |

I haven't done it until now. Because I did not need the ctrl. when cursor went on the link, it automatically changed format to the finger, Then I clicked and kept ctrl pressed and then clicked on the link, it opened in the browser without the word being replaced with the browser on the screen(then I have to get back to the word because I don't want to read the link exactly at the time I click on it)

Are you using an online version of Word (in a browser)?

Some links, or perhaps more correctly some targets, may require that you close a confirmation dialog box before the link actually opens. It's a bit of a long shot, but well worth considering...
