Word hyperlinks not working
Using Word via Office 2003 - have used hyperlinks for almost 2 years w/o
problem, then all of the sudden my hyperlinks won't work. If I try to create my own hyperlink (to another document is what I'm doing, but websites aren't working either) OR if I receive a document with hyperlinks (to other docs), I don't get the nice formatting (ie no text as designated and no blue font/underline), but something like this: {HYPERLINK "C:\\pathname\\filename.doc"}, and if I click on it the text there is no link (I can use format/styles to make it have the blue/underline format, but it still doesn't create a valid hyperlink). Even if I create a hyperlink and get the {document path/name} text and then try to edit it to reflect the text I want (select link, then right click, then "edit hyperlink" then modify the "text to display" box, then "ok"), the text designating the hyperlink doesn't change (nor does it work as a link). I did all the office/word upgrades and it did not help (I even reinstalled Office - no luck). |
