What version of Word are you using? For hyperlinks to be preserved, you
need Word XP with SP2 as a minimum

I have a merge datasource that has a field that holds a URL.

I want to use email merge. When I drop in that field on the main
document,
after the merge is done, the field is simply text. How do I make it an
active hyperlink?

Each record has a different value in the URL field. So, the solution has
to
be dynamic and set at "merge" time.

thanks!
