Hyperlink in protected form

[sskp30]

Hello everyone,

My question is actually about Word, but since there is so much information here about Macros I am hoping you can help me.

I have a form in Word which has hyperlinks. However when the form is protected they do not work. I found a macro to make them work with a MacroButton. THe macro is as follows

Sub FollowLink()
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow
End Sub

and then in the link I put {Macrobutton "FollowLink"{HYPERLINK "http://www.mylink.com"}}

Once I protect it, it works fine on my PC but not on the PC of the person I sent it to.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
