SYMPTOMS
If you choose to have Microsoft Word Viewer 97-2000 as the default program for opening documents, clicking a hyperlink to a document opens the document in Word Viewer.

Because Word Viewer does not have a Web toolbar, there is no way to navigate "back" to the source of the link. That is, there is no "back" button in Word Viewer.



CAUSE
Microsoft Word Viewer 97-2000 does not support toolbars.



WORKAROUND
If you are navigating from one document to another document by clicking hyperlinks inside Word Viewer, you can work around this problem by using the "most recently used file" list on the File menu to switch from the current document to the previous document. However, the "most recently used file" list only shows the four most recently opened documents.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Microsoft Word 97-2000 Viewer to view documents that were created in Microsoft Word 97, in Microsoft Word 2000, in Microsoft Word 2002, and in Microsoft Office Word 2003.
