 Inserting Hyperlinks

When I insert a hyperlink into a Word document it runs on Netscape even though I have saved the link on Internet Explorer (I have two browsers). How can I instruct the hyperlink to run on IE as I have problems with running Netscape links when the IE browser is open? Most grateful for any ideas. The Word "Help" menu, Office Assistant, etc are not at all helpful on this. I also have the same problem when trying to export IE "Favorites" to a file as Netscape takes over. How can I stop this happening as I don't want them saved as Netscape "Bookmarks" due to loading problems?
