Hyperlinks - XP/MSOffice 2007

Recently all e-mail and web addresses are stored in Word 2007 documents as
hyperlinks. (The link can be removed/reset by right-clicking, etc.)
Documents
originally saved with link, NOT a Hyperlink.

What button did I inadvertantly press to make this happen?

BTW, in what cases are these HYPERlinks used? What is their specific
purpose?

Tks!

BTW ~ Sorry for the cross-post w/..public.word. No response there.
 
Maybe the Word or Office group would be better able to answer your question;
this is the Windows XP Basics group.....but giving my 2c worth:

As far as I know, a *hyperlink* and a *link* are the same thing; there is
no difference.

One refers to "linking" on the internet, is referring to hyperlinking; this
concept can also be applied to local files e.g. between a word doc and excel
spreadsheet file.
 
Hi! Posted on Word's group for a while now - no takers!
Just added to Word.General - looking for advice there, too.

The HYPERLinks look like: {HYPER . . . . . da-dee-dah} and the links remove
the word HYPER and the {}. When I right-click on the HYPERlink there is a
choice to "remove HYPERlink" returning to the normally accepted, understood
link.

You said: "As far as I know, a *hyperlink* and a *link* are the same thing;

no difference."

I opened a document wherein I had previously inserted a Picture. Upon
reopening the doc, where the picture was/is located, there now is:
{EMBED Word.Picture.8} When I right-click on this "link" I can open the
Picture on another sheet. The only way to see it on the document is via
Print Preview.

I ask, once again, what setting did I inadvertantly set to convert links to
hyperlinks?

A link is *still* a hyperlink.

And, as you were advised, you would get better help in an office or word
newsgroup.

Your last line: AGREED. However, so far (for a few days now - posted on

Possibly no takers because:

1) No one has an answer.
2) No one understands what you're asking (I don't)

Read the thread a few times myself.
From what I understand of the descriptions; it appears that in Microsoft
Office, 'links' and 'hyperlinks' are not the same thing.

{EMBED...} is a link to objects that should appear in place of link.
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051901591033.aspx)

{HYPERLINK...} is a hyperlink to an external resource.
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051896351033.aspx?
pid=CH063563831033)

OP may find the following information useful:

Do not understand 'cause so far, apparently, maybe, no one (impossible!) has
experienced the problem.
