There is a problem opening the hyperlinks from the word as users get directed to a permission violation to view page error.

Steps to reproduce:

Open up a word doc and insert a link to Confluence space/page for example - http://localhost:8070/display/ATL/Home, save the doc.
Once that link is clicked they are presented with a login screen, after entering their credentials they are taken to the page associated with the link they have clicked.
If that person is to now click the link again or any other Confluence link they are taken to the permission denied page.
If the person has Confluence open prior to clicking the link in the document then they are directed straight to the access denied page.

Happens in both IE7 and Firefox. Please see the attached screen shots.
