Default Mail merge from Access, with hyperlink field

I try to mail merge a Word document, from an Access database query,
containing an hyperlink field (file://)
I obtain in Word the adress of the field, what i wished would have been its
content.
Is it better to try solution 1 ou 2 ?
1 : trying to do so that Access exports the content of the hyperlink field,
then Word just receives it
2 : trying to do so that Word transforms the adress into text
Thank you
GC

Unfortunately, since the proliferation of spam and the resulting posting by
people with an @discussion.microsoft.com "email address", these news groups
have become far less personal, so it is nice to receive a note of thanks.

Hi ?B?dHJvdWJhZG91cg==?=,

PS : is it usual or annoying (for readers) to say thank you on the forum ?

And we especially appreciate it if it's been a puzzling problem, since we
then know what it was that actually worked :-)

Whether it's unusual or annoying depends to a great extent on the individual
forum. Some "techy" groups find it annoying; a waste of time and band-width.
In other groups, with a more personal tone, it's tolerated or appreciated
(depending on the individuals). This set of groups (word) definitely fall
into the "personal" category :-)
