If I type in a hyperlink such as:

http://www.microsoft.com into a word document the autoformat feature
recognizes that it is a hyperlink and creates the hyperlink.

If I save and re-open the doc, the hyperlink now reads:

{HYPERLINK http://www.microsoft.com}

Why does it do this? I have Office XP.

It sounds as if you have field codes on. To turn them off choose
Tools>Options>View and uncheck the box next to Field Codes. Or if you just
want to turn them off for a single hyperling, right click in the hyperlink
and choose Toggle Field Codes to turn it off.

Thanks! I also learned Alt+F9 is a shortcut for that

ive got a similar problem

Im trying to create a piece of text with a hyperlink over it, although
my hyperlink takes the form of http:///mytemplate.doc. (note the 3
slashes)

WORD 2002 (on XP) is correcting the /// with //, which I don't want it
to do.

Ive turned off the Autocorrect in the TOOLs menu but its still
correcting the http:///

I need to use the /// as a reference for a xslt transformation so dont
want it corrected.

can anyone help?
