If I select a word document then go to preview view and activate the link it navigates to my folder on my hard drive. If I do the same with a Pdf it opens the pdf file.

Hello Jeremy,

The desktop window which appears is to select where to save the word file since these cannot be displayed in the browser but needs to be saved or opened with Word.

Many thanks!
