Hyperlink Display

[Debbie]

Normally my Word 2002 documents that contain hyperlinks
displayed them as a hyperlink now they are displaying them
like this: { Hyperlink \1 "_A" }. I think I must have
changed a setting but I have had no success in figuring
out how to correct this. I can right click on them and
choose "select hyperlink" and they will then display
correctly but even if I save the document they all revert
to full path as above. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I appologize. I thought he was needing more information
from me. I changed the option and it now looks as it
should.

Thanks,
Debbie

I have the same problem as Debbie. Tried Mike's solution, but it only works for that document and only while it is displayed. After saving and reopening, the old HYPERLINK "http://etc" is displayed. How can I make a global change to all documents to display as a clickable url?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

This is an environment setting, so it will be the same in any document as it
is in the window from which you open it. When you start Word, go to Tools |
Options and clear the check box for "Field codes." Then any document you
open should show hyperlinks (and other fields) correctly.
