I used to be able to type a website address and get a link automatically
inserted once I hit Return. Now I just get "HYPERLINK.." then then the web
address without the blue underlining. I've checked my autoformatting
settings and they look fine. Frustrating. John

Press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes (what you
see now) and field results.

I have tried this and the hyperlinks will never show up as a hyperlink. When
I toggle the fields, Alt+F9, the email information goes away. I have typed
new email addresses and they don't convert to a hyperlink. I have gone
through all of the autoformatting options and made sure that anything with
respect to web/mail links were turned on.

Please help.

The only option that affects conversion of email addresses into
hyperlinks is on the Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You
Type dialog, the one for "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks".
When that option is checked, if you type an address followed by a
space or punctuation, Word will convert it.

When you press Alt+F9 repeatedly, the address should alternate between
the usual blue/underlined format and the field code, which looks like
{HYPERLINK "}.
