Default Form Fields Auto Convert Text to Link

Word recognizes email addresses and URLs and automatically converts them to
links when typed. Is there a way to have this funcitonality available in
text fields when a locked form is filled out? Macro maybe???
Thanks in advance,
Dax

I don't think there is a way to have Word automatically *create* hyperlinks
in a protected form, but there are ways to make hyperlinks *work* within
protected documents; see
