Changing the link on the Search the Web button

[Luc]

I want to change the link on the Search the Web button in Word. It
takes me to Excite but I want to use another Search engine. I tried
changing the link in the Internet preference system (OS X) but Word
resets it to the Excite engine.

Thank you

Hi Luc:

No, sorry. That's part of the Captive Eyeballs campaign the computer
vendors are still trying.

Microsoft owns Excite, so all searches are pointed at Excite.

I would simply put a hyperlink to Google on the toolbar and copy the icon
onto it, then remove the original Icon :-)

The default is actually in Internet Explorer somewhere. You can change it,
but you need the IE Admin kit to do it with.

Cheers
