Insert as hyperlink is checked and no problem linking. However, there is no
way to tell that text is a hyperlink just by looking at it; not blue in color and not underlined. Have I missed any settings somewhere else? Thanks. Epinn |

Modify the Hyperlink and Followed Hyperlink styles as described
in http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...900401033.aspx .. In Word, if you click on Help and search for "format hyperlink" (without quotes), then you will find the exact same information there. It's amazing what the Help files contain... like answers to all of your too-numerous-to-count questions here. Try it sometime and you might like it.

First of all, I don't have a clue of what you meant by "all of your
too-numerous-to-count questions here." This is my **sixth** thread ever since I have subscribed to this Word forum. I have a habit of using F1 and Google before I post. As far as I am concerned, none of my previous questions could be answered by reading help. Did you just look at the header or the contents of my posts before you stated the fact that my questions could have been resolved by using help? Regarding the most recent question on hyperlink, I didn't feel that my question was answered by your pointing me to the assistance link. I know how to do format. I am curious why checking the "insert as hpyerlink" box doesn't cause the text to display as a hyperlink and wonder if I have missed some **settings**. Of course, I know I can format manually. I am very disappointed with your **unfair** comments. Every forum has its own culture and I guess some are more friendly than others. I am sorry that I posted at the **wrong** time. For the record, I do believe that posters should try to find answers by checking help or doing a web search before they post. MVP's should spend their time on the complicated and tricky questions especially when they are volunteers. This is why I quote from "help" as much as I can when I answer some posts hoping to send out the message. Epinn "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote in message ...

I was referring to your combined 360+ posts in the Word, Excel,
Powerpoint, and Outlook newsgroups (yes, I read other newsgroups besides this one). I agree with you about you not having a clue and about the fact that your questions could have been resolved by using Help. If you really do know how to use the F1 key, then you wouldn't have to ask how to remove a word from the custom.dic file, or how to use the Count and Sumproduct functions in Excel, etc. The "Insert as hyperlink" box *does* cause the text to display as a hyperlink as defined by the Hyperlink style... you just don't like the way the hyperlink is displayed, and for that problem you need to modify the Hyperlink style. You would know this if you bothered to read the Help article I cited in my reply, or if you used F1 or Google before you posted.

It just dawned on me what you were asking... it would have been
better if you had put your whole question in this big white space provided for that purpose, instead of half of the question in the subject line (which I originally missed) and the other half down here (which is out of context when the subject line is ignored). When you insert a cross-reference, you insert a REF field, which unlike a normal hyperlink is not affected by the Hyperlink style. You can make fields such as REF fields visible on screen by clicking on Tools | Options | View | Field shading: Always | OK. Shaded isn't quite the same as blue and underlined, but you should still be able to distinguish them from regular text. Alternatively, you can manually format each cross-reference as blue and underlined or use Edit-ReplaceAll to search for REF fields and replace with FindWhatText+Blue+Underline.

Re the replace suggestion, from
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...#AlphaEndnotes "you can use Find & Replace to format all the cross-reference fields. To do so, go to EditFind. Click More in the dialog. Enter ^19 REF in the Find box. Put your cursor in the Replace field, then click on the Format drop-down menu in the dialog, select Font, and apply the formatting you want to the empty Replace box." Someone once went off on me for redundancy between my first line and subject line, but I also have a tendency not to read subjects *with* the message.

I understand when one is on the net or newsgroups, one doesn't have much
"privacy." However, I don't think, it is appropriate to advertise another poster's behavior or profile **explicitly** regardless of whether you are trying to make a point. There is no absolute right or wrong here, but sensitivity and courtesy is called for. Is "etiquette" the right word here? You wrote: "If you really do know how to use the F1 key, then you wouldn't have to ask how to remove a word from the custom.dic file, or how to use the Count and Sumproduct functions in Excel, etc." If you have read my posts under COUNT and SUMPRODUCT in detail. You would have noted that my posts were a result of using F1 and help. For COUNT, I didn't understand the example used in help and I needed clarification. For SUMPRODUCT, I found that the example given by one MVP in another poster's thread was very different from the help and would like to understand it better. Therefore I posted to request someone to point me to some tutorial. I didn't expect a lecture. However, some good people do exist and I have a very good teacher, Ken, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Regarding CUSTOM.DIC, I did post an answer to the first part of my own post as soon as I posted. According to one MVP, there is this "natural law" that one may find the answer right after posting. I want to highlight your comment "If you really do know how to use the F1 key ......" This is a good point. Some posters may have a problem using F1 key and for me I need clarification regardless of whether I don't understand something in help or there is an error in help. For the record, I did find an error in help. For situations like this, I don't see anything wrong for people to come to the forum for help. If I have not mistaken, the purpose of Microsoft's MVP program is to help people use the software (which can indirectly impact the revenue positively.) When I purchase a product especially software, support is my number one consideration. If everyone goes off somewhere else to solve their problems, then the forums won't be alive. As you are aware most of my posts are for another newsgroup which you may read but not **support**. If someone wants to complain about my volume or anything about my behavior, it should be from that group. I have got a lot of friendly and smart support from the MVP's in that group. I have got feedback like "You are a welcome change or it's a great pleasure to have you." and I feel welcome. If not, I would not have done what I did. I guess some MVP's encourage learning which in turn supports Microsoft's mandate while a few may not be as sensitive which can lead to users feeling intimidated. Every MVP on all the forums you mentioned uses his/her real full name. I don't think garfield-n-odie is your real name. I wonder why an MVP legitimately recognized by Microsoft won't use his/her real name!! I am very disappointed and upset that I have to justify myself in our **very first** encounter. However, when I found out how you talked to another user previously, I didn't feel so bad. Please feel free **not** to answer my posts including this one in the future if it involves my personal profile being disclosed explicitly or my behavior being judged openly.

Hi Daiya,
Thank you for stepping in and helping out. Believe it or not, this is probably the first and only time I have not repeated the subject of the post in the body of the message. I had never run into a problem before. Thanks for letting me know that not everybody reads the subject etc. and I'll make a point to include it in the body. Regarding the formatting of the reference field, I followed the instructions in the link to the dot and still couldn't get it working. It took me a while to figure out what was missing. Unlike ^p which does not require show/hide to be on, ^19 only works when field codes are **visible**. It will be nice if something similar to the following is included as part of the instruction in the link. "If you're searching for fields, you must display field codes. To switch between displaying field codes and field results, click the field, and press SHIFT+F9. To show or hide field codes for all fields in the document, press ALT+F9." Finally, I got it working. Thank you for your attention. Epinn "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

True, and I agree to a certain extent. Seeing that ^p is an exception (i.e.
Word doesn't have to see it), I have to go and find out what other exceptions exist. By the way, Suzanne, I have learned that you are the #1 contributor to the forum. Congratulations! I admire people who volunteer their time and help others, especially someone as dedicated as you are. Thank you for making a difference. Much appreciated. Epinn "Suzanne S.

So sorry about that! I'll try to get the article updated soon. I actually
read another message right about that time (not sure if it was GnO's on this thread) that made me think that might be a problem, but I forgot to post a PS. Amazingly, though I skim the subject line to see what I need to bother reading, I have often completely forgotten it in the millisecond of switching to read the actual message. It all depends on how individual brains work, so there's never going to be one good answer. I figure on newsgroups, redundancy is always the safest way. I think Word also treats hidden text like fields--e.g., I think it Word Counts hidden text if visible, not if not visible. This has thrown me off as well.

Daiya,
Thank you for being kind and action oriented. Your link pointed me to the right direction and that was more important. A little experiment trained my brain to be more flexible. Amazingly, though I skim the subject line to see what I need to bother reading, I have often completely forgotten it in the millisecond of switching to read the actual message. Yes, this is what I think - MVP's will look at subject lines to determine what to answer. But the second part of your sentence is true as well. I do that myself too. I should do my best to make the MVP's job easier and I'll remember to repeat the subject in the body. Regarding Word counting hidden text, I "feel" confused just reading about it. I'll worry about it another day. Thanks for point it out and I shall keep that in mind. With another software, one MVP wrote a book on "annoyances." Do you know of any URL for Word addressing this issue? Just curious. Thank you. Epinn "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. . So sorry about that! I'll try to get the article updated soon.
