Yes ..

Your RT editor (MS Word) is not a web browser and it does not
instantiate the system web browser correctly or at all..

Tell users not to do that.

I actually think there are back threads on this as well .. you might
have some luck digging through the archives. But, you should really not
be doing that anyway and expecting it to work - IMO.

We locally have not had any one complaining about that for a while though. 
Just user training I guess..
