Linking to a word document

[Melissa]

I am linking to a word document in a new page but when
you close the new page, it asks for the user name and
password to link back to the server (www.angelfire.com).
You can cancel and continue back but not many users will
know to try that plus it just looks bad. I have done
this in the past and not had any problem. The doc was
form protected. I have tried taking that off and it
doesn't help. What I am doing wrong?

Hi Melissa,

This sounds as if the server has permissions set incorrectly.

It's a bug in word 2000. Users who have it installed on their computer must
download and install at least SR-1 from microsoft.

There's a link to a Microsoft knowledge base article that explains how to fix it, and also
an exe file you can download and run here:
