Hyperlink field codes show up in document
Hi:
I copy and paste hyperlinks into a Word 2003 document. Save. When I open it in a day or so, hyperlink field codes show up. However, cannot get rid of them by clicking off anything suggested in this thread so far. Here is a example: The 1960's. 5 April 2005 HYPERLINK "http://www.kyrene.k12.az.us/schools/brisas/sunda/decade/1960.htm" http://www.kyrene.k12.az.us/schools/...ecade/1960.htm . Unfortunately, this does not show the little boxes that appear. There is one before the word HYPERLINK, two boxes before http, and one after htm [not the one with the " " around it. Any ideas would be helpful. This is on a Citrix network using WinXP Prof. Thanks |

Hi Rick,
As this is a new thread, not quite sure what you're referring to but use Alt+F9 to toggle between fieldcodes and results display in a Word document and check the settings in Tools=Options=View ======== "Rick" wrote in message ...

Alt+F9 does not work for these. Other links in the document do work and I
can see/hide the { }, but where the { or } is on the non-working links like the one that I copied and pasted, there are little boxes. Any ideas?

Hi Rick,
What is the source of the hyperlinks you're pasting? It could be a language or font issue or an AOL hyperlink causing it. If you use Edit=Paste Special when pasting from the source what is the default paste format coming up and what happens if you use unformatted text? In Tools=Autocorrect options is the option turned on to convert links to hyperlinks? ======== "Rick" wrote in message ... Alt+F9 does not work for these.

Assuming you actually have the language for Word field codes, you could
recreate them by replacing the boxes with actual field braces. You would manually select the text between two boxes and press Ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of field braces. Then delete the boxes. Press F9 and see what happens. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Bob:
The sources are URLs from anywhere on the Internet. My students are creating Works Cited pages in Word for a project. The default paste format is unformated unicode text. Unformated text has the same result, that is, copy URL from the Address line, paste it into a Word doc, press enter several times to change it from text to URL link. Yes, the option is turned on to convert links to hyperlinks. Thanks Rick "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Rick, What is the source of the hyperlinks you're pasting?

Hi:
I tried your idea, however, I cannot manually select the text between the boxes. The cursor just jumps to the beginning or end without highlighting. Thanks for the suggestion.
