    Why my hyperlinks in Excel do not open pdf & pic. Files ?
    Dear Sirs,

    In MS-Excel I make some hyperlinks, for example in an Excel sheet I write "2007" and then by right click I select
    "hyperlink..." and make a hyperlink to open a file on my computer.

    When I click on my hyperlinked cell or word in mentioned Excel sheet, If hyperlinked file is PDF or picture files, Excel
    Does not open it at all; if hyperlinked file is MS-Word it works and is opened.

    Please help me and let me know how can I resolve this problem in order to open all hyperlinked files.

    Dave

    First, go to Tools in Excel and choose "Options"

    Remove the check from "Ignore other applications" on the "General" tab, and see if that does the trick.
