Hyperlinks In Outlook

[Dinsdale]

By default, I can paste in a URL, and Outlook converts it to a hyperlink.

Since I switched boxes here at work, my URL's don't provide you with a
hyperlink; I have to manually add the link by selecting the text and
right-clicking it, and selecting Hyperlink from the list.

This is a nusance, actually, since I have to send hyperlinks ALL DAY. And
this feature is supposed to be enabled by default.

Any suggestions on how to get my URL's to automatically provide a hyperlink?
Is this a preference setting I can't seem to find?

Thanks!

Are you using word as your editor and HTML format? After pasting, press
space bar or enter and it should hyperlink it for you.

You know, I hate to admit it, but I think that's it. Hit enter after paste.

I was just moving my cursor up into the Subject line, and not getting a
hyperlink.

Sheesh! Sometimes it's the dumbest things.
