Hi,  would I be right in thinking that if you place a hyperlink on some text
in a foot, it will not work?

Thanks

Great so in fact if someone send me a document that has a hyperlink in a
footer, just by opening the document and clicking on the link, I won't get
anywhere - I have to specifically open the document, view the hooter, and
then click on the link?

Exactly so. It's an extra 2 clicks, to double-click in the footer area so
that it is activated. You might think that's a silly way for Microsoft to
have designed it, but that's the way it works, and you're not going to get
them to change it for the sake of saving 2 clicks.
