I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I'm using Office XP (2002) and for
some reason my hyperlinks are not working. For example, when I type
http://www.msn.com into a word document it doens't create a hyperlink. When
I click on the "Insert Hyperlink" button it changes to {HYPERLINK
"http://www.msn.com" }. This just started happening and I can't for the life
of me figure out what I've done to cause this, but would appreciate any help
to get it back so it automatically creates the hyperlink.

TIA

Thanks for the quick reply Jezebel! I checked out my Word program and I
already have the Autoformat formated as you suggested. I also opened a
document that I created several months ago with some pictures that I pulled
from the internet and several hyperlinks. They all look like I described
below. Even the pictures...I'm wondering if I reinstall word if this will
correct itself....

Thanks again,
Debi
