Word 2003 shows hyperlinks differently -can it be changed?

jojoit8888 · 05-07-2008, 12:03 AM

Hi,

Since changing to Word 2003 I've noticed than when a web address is typed in, it no longer appears underlined in blue as in Word 2002, but instead appears in a messy fashion as {HYPERLINk "http://www.website.com"} in all views except Reading Layout where it appears normally. I can't find a way to make it revert to the normal blue underlined form in Normal layout. Any ideas?

Really Appreciate your help.

Best Regards,
Jojo

Hi and welcome to TSF.

Go to Tools > Options > View Tab and uncheck the box in the right side that says "Field Codes".
