Hyperlinks Not Displaying Correctly in MS Word
Hyperlinks Not Displaying Correctly in MS Word
Submitted by Dennis Faas on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 08:00
A reader recently wrote to me because he had followed my instructions for inserting a hyperlink in his MS Word document and it just didn't look right and when he clicked on it, it just didn't work!
There is a very easy fix for this problem and I advised him thusly:
- Click on Tools | Options.
- Under the View tab, deselect Field Codes.
Then, instead of seeing the text below -
{HYPERLINK. "http://www.carolscorneroffice.com/"}
He now sees:
Carol's Corner Office.com.and when he clicks on the link, it takes him to Carol's Corner Office!
