For example, whenever I type a web address such as "www.yahoo.com" it
automatically is changed to "{HYPERLINK "http://www.yahoo.com"}". How do I
turn this off??? I know that if I highlight it and hit shift F9 it changes
it to normal text...but how do I make it always be normal and avoid having to
always highlight and hit F9? It is the same with templates that I download
to use...most of the stuff I cannot even see, but I know it is all there
because it shows up in Print Preview. Please help me as this is giving me an
incredible headache! THANKS!

G'Day Snfldlover,

In Word
ToolsOptions
View (tab)
Field Codes (UNCHECK the box upper right).

SHIFT+F9 will still work, but the Field Codes will now NOT
be shown as the default.

When you first start Word, check the setting at Tools | Options | View. BTW,
Alt+F9 will accomplish the same thing, toggling the display of all field
codes in the document; Shift+F9 toggles just the selected one.
