WORD Displaying Hyperlinks Solved

Question

Hello,
A little problem that I submit to your sagacity.
For some time now, and without being able to remedy it, the hyperlinks appear in braces and accompanied by codes in my Word texts instead of simply underlined as before.

Example: {HYPERLINK rocksan@jjjj.ch}

I've tried to look for a checkbox in the options... I haven't found it yet. Does anyone have the solution? Thanks in advance.

To make them go away, you press Alt+F9. That should cancel everything. Word 2007.

When you're in Word, go to the "Tools" menu, then "AutoCorrect Options," there will be several tabs including "While typing," try checking/unchecking the box: Internet and network addresses with hyperlinks.

Not sure if it will work, but you never know ;)

Rocksan · Answer

Thank you, but it doesn't work.

This option removes the hyperlink altogether.
I want to keep it, but have it displayed as underlined instead of like this:

{HYPERLINK "mailto:rocksan@jjj.ch"}

Any other idea?

Best regards,
Rock

Always me, yes!  You can also try: Menu "Insert", "Hyperlink" and there you enter your link (You can also press CTRL + k) to directly access the window.  To be tested...

Hello Rocksan,

You must have the "field codes" enabled in Word.
Go to Tools / Options / View / Disable "Field codes."
Then the link will normally appear in blue underlined as you want to provide access.

My method in Word 2003 (you don’t provide your version).
Will you try?

I tried this in Word 2010, but on my computer, the Alt + F9 shortcut opens the control panel.

In the Options / Display menu, I don't have the option to Disable "Field codes".

Does anyone have a solution for Word 2010?

The problem is not just for hyperlinks, but also for all field codes in a mail merge, for example.

In Word 2010, you need to go to Options/Advanced Options/Display document content and uncheck the box Show field codes instead of their values.
