Hyperlinks to Internet and network paths in two differen tabs
In Word 2007, a checkbox named "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks"
appears in two different places--once under the AutoFormat tab and again under the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Why is it in both places and should it be checked or unchecked in both places? There must be a reason it's found twice. Thanks in advance. Arlene |

*All* the settings on those two tabs are duplicates. The ones on the
AutoFormat As You Type tab describe corrections that will take place as you type. The ones on the AutoFormat tab describe corrections that will happen when you run Format | AutoFormat. Only you can decide which options you want to enable. In this specific instance, I have "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" disabled on the AutoFormat As You Type tab because I don't ordinarily, in material intended for print, want URLs to be hyperlinked. But I leave it checked on the AutoFormat tab so that I can easily convert URLs in the few documents in which I do use hyperlinks to Web pages (the "cheat sheets" I use for these NGs, for example). -- Suzanne S.

Hyperlinks to Internet and network paths in two differen tabs
Thanks, Suzanne. I'm with you until you say, "But
I leave it checked on the AutoFormat tab so that I can easily convert URLs in the few documents in which I do use hyperlinks to Web pages (the "cheat sheets" I use for these NGs, for example)." Does this mean that if it is unchecked in AutoFormat, that you can't easily convert URLs? Does this enable some right-click feature or how do you convert URLs? "Suzanne S.

Hyperlinks to Internet and network paths in two differen tabs
When it is checked, you can convert typed URLs to hyperlinks using Format |
AutoFormat (I actually have an AutoFormat button on my toolbar, though). As it happens, though, I rarely do this any more since I found that you can also select a typed hyperlink and click on the Insert Hyperlink button and accomplish the same thing. -- Suzanne S.

You can also just right-click on the URL and convert to a hyperlink but you
can do that with either option unchecked. "Suzanne S.
