Locking a Hyperlink in Word

[Guest]

Is it possible to lock a hyperlink so that people don't see the field code
and don't have to press alt f9 to switch to the field result? It would just
make it easier so that I don't have to put an explanation on my document as
people tend to forget how to switch field codes.

cheers

Not without macros in the document, which would create far more problems.
Field code display is pretty basic stuff.

No, you can't do anything at your end to affect how other users' options are
set (unless you put an AutoOpen macro in your document, but then either they
get a security warning about a possible virus attack or else they have their
security level set to High and the macro just doesn't run).

The usual default for the option is to show field results -- if you always
see field codes when you open the document, there's something wrong with
your installation.

Many thanks. I thought that was the case but thought I ought to check
