    Thanks for your patience. We have investigated this issue and found that this has broken with a recent Office update and would require a fix from Microsoft. 

    This has also been raised on Microsoft fourms in several threads and acknowledged and it seems they are investigating this issue. Please follow these threads for updates.

    As a workaround, please revert to older version of Office to make links work.

    Thanks

    Another workaround is that uploading the Word Document to the Adobe hosted online PDF generator seems to work perfectly creating the hyperlinks, even though the plugin seems to not work.
