Hello to everyone, I really wonder if someone can help me:
I wrote a document with lots of VBA macros to support which is
basically a list of hyperlinks to JPEG-files. The idea is to click on a
small image and have it opened then by the relevant program, for my
preferences e.g. the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer for JPEG-files. But
here is the big problem: Word seems to assume a different default
program ("associate") with JPEG-files than in my Windows settings, in
Word 2002 it always uses the Internet Explorer, in Word 2000 the MS
Photo Editor. I tried very hard to make it alter this, but I failed. I
finally had all the JPEG-files' extension changed to some unknown
format, like *.abc, then Word will use the Windows setting for this
extension alright, but it will come up with a warning message each
time, saying something like "unknown data format, possible danger, are
you sure you want to open this file?" with default setting of "No" or
"Abort". This is very annoying, also since some other programs will not
be able to identify these JPEG-files with a different extension any
more.
Do you know a solution? There has to be a possibility to influence what
program is used by word to open a file with.
Thanks a lot & best regards,
Matthew
