hyperlink network file by right-clicking

[Guest]

I can select text in an email and right-click, and then can select Hyperlink
to browse and link to a network document. Not all users in my office can,
even some that have MSWord 2003 and have that chosen as the editor of their
HTML message (which is how mine is set up). The Insert Hyperlink option
isn't a good choice for us because it includes the drive letter in the path,
which varies from user to user. I've discovered the right-click option uses
the server name and not the drive letter. How can others in my office who
don't have that option when they right-click get it?

They all should have the option. Have you verified that they are indeed
composing in HTML format? The default doesn't matter if they reply to a
Plain Text formatted message the composing of the reply will also be in
Plain Text.

I did double-check on a couple computers. They were both set for HTML
format. One of the computers only had Microsoft Word 2000, so I thought
maybe that was the problem, but the other one did have Microsoft Word 2003
and was set to edit email messages in it, same as mine. I have the
right-click hyperlink option, theirs don't, and I can't figure out what the
difference is.
