Hi mino'aka,It appears that the limitation is in the interaction between the clipboard and the URL box in the Create Hyperlink dialog -- it is *not* a limitation of the hyperlink field itself or of the dialog.There are two ways to work around it:- If you have recently visited the page in your browser, use the Browsed Pages button in the dialog and choose the page from the list. The entire URL will appear in the Address box and in the hyperlink.- If you can't visit the page but you have the URL in the clipboard, first insert the truncated hyperlink. Place the cursor in the hyperlink and press Shift+F9 to display the field code. Replace the truncated URL in the field code with the complete one, being careful not to remove the quotes around it. Press F9 to update the field, which should now work.-- Regards,Jay FreedmanMicrosoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.orgmino'aka wrote:
