hyperlink not working

[SITCFanTN]

I"m setting a hyperlink in my existing document per the Word instructions and
it is not working. I'm setting the desination as a bookmark and my hyperlink
doesn't work, when I click on the hyperlink text, it doesn't do anything.
I've linked my hyperlink to the bookmark, any suggestions on what could be
wrong. Should I be creating the hyperlink in VBA? Thank you

Maybe you have Word set to require you to hold the Ctrl key while you click the
hyperlink. There's an option for whether a hyperlink works with just a click or
with Ctrl+click. In Word 2003 it's in Tools > Options > Edit; in Word 2007 it's
in Office button > Word Options > Advanced > Editing options.

If that isn't helping, click on the hyperlink and press Shift+F9 to display its
field code. It should look like {HYPERLINK \l"bookmark_name"} where the thing
in quotes is the actual name of the bookmark. If you see anything else, try
deleting the hyperlink and recreating it.

Whether the hyperlink is created with the dialog or with VBA makes no difference
at all.
