Hello all,
I want to disable the Ctrl+click feature of MS word 2002.
Does anyone know where is this done in the registry. I
dont want to have to touch all the machines. I can send
the registry key to all machines.
thanks for any info in advanced,
Martin Reyes

You could send users a Registry key to control this, but it would probably
also change other Options settings to your preference, which might not be
theirs. They will not thank you for it. Just tell them to go to Tools |
Options | Edit and disable the feature.

Until Suzanne raised a clue, I didn't have one about what you meant here :(

The feature is stored amongst other settings in the Word data key, and as
Suzanne suggests you shouldn't be messing with this key - nor do I see why
you should be dictating to users whether they have this function or not.
However, you could achieve this universally by means of a global add-in
containing the following macro:

Sub AutoExec()
Options.CtrlClickHyperlinkToOpen = False
End Sub
