Upon inserting a Bibliography, I notice that the URLs in the Bibliography are not automatically converted into links. Is there a way to do this. It would be nice to be able to click on a link rather than copy the URL and paste it into the browser. Thank you for the feedback.
 
If you have AutoFormat set to convert URLs, then running AutoFormat over
selected text will accomplish this.

I added AutoFormat to the Quick Access Toolbar.
In AutoCorrect dialog | AutoFormat tab | I made sure "Internet & network
paths with hyperlinks" was checked.
I selected the Bibliography.
I clicked on the AutoFormat button.
None of the URLs in the Bibliography were changed to links.
Why?
Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks
 
Are you sure the box is checked on the AutoFormat tab and not just on
AutoFormat As You Type? It works for me in Word 2003, and I don't know why
it would work differently in Word 2007.

Hi John,
It works for me here. Are you sure you added the right AutoFormat command
to your Quick Access Toolbar? There are 3 different AutoFormat commands
available in the list.
Hope this helps.

I could be wrong, but I believe that autoformatting does not work on
field results, hence it wouldn't work on bibliographies unless you
converted them to static text first.

Ah, I missed that the bibliography is created as a field. I'm not up to
speed in Word 2007 yet.
