Thanks for the clarification Suzanne. I created two links to files that were
both in the same folder. Both had spaces in their names. One hyperlink showed
spaces in the link name. The other showed %20's. Any idea why that occurs? Is
there an option somewhere where you can choose not to show html field codes?
TIA ... Greg

To clarify, %20 is the HTML code for a space. If this bothers you, you can
create hyperlinks with underlines_between_words instead of spaces, or
eliminate the spaces altogether by CapitalizingTheWords.

Hi macropod,
the %20 may have been there already but if it was then it wasn't visible.
Is
the %20 like a field code in that it exists but not normally visible? I
have
seen similar behaviour when downloading pdf files, ie the spaces within
the
filename are filled with %20. I will try and detect a pattern in the
symptoms
... a pattern is not yet obvious though.
cheers

Thanks Macropod, that helps alot. Now when I insert a link to a file
name
that contains a space, Word inserts the characters %20 instead of a
space.
Strangely, it doesn't happen on every occasion but it does interfere
with
correct operation of the link. Why is that?
TIA ... Greg
Hi Greg
I have no idea. Perhaps there's a pattern to the behaviour that might
help explain it. The '%20' is, however, a common way of
embedding spaces in hyperlinks. Are you sure they weren't already there?
Cheers
