One email address get formatted...?

[Kenneth]

Howdy,

I'm using Word 2002...

I just experimented with using a table to format our seminar
rosters. I have been using the column tool in the past.

In any case, I loaded up the table, and then noticed
something that confuses me:

Each cell of the table had an individual's name, address,
phone information and email address(es). There were 7 such
displayed.

All of the email addresses were in standard format:
(e-mail address removed) yet only one of the seven was formatted
by Word in blue, and underlined.

Why might only one be so formatted?

Thanks for any information on this odd behavior,

This doesn't happen automatically if data is pasted in, only when it's
typed. If you have "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" checked in
AutoFormat, run AutoFormat to convert them.

Hi Suzanne,

I thank you for your suggestion, but remain curious...

Do you have any idea how, or why, Word might format one of
seven email addresses only? (And, BTW, I had pasted the text
in...)

All the best, and thanks again,

If they're pasted in as hyperlinks (from an email, for example), they will
remain so. If they're pasted as plain text, they won't be converted.

Hi Suzanne,

I had a plain text file that included 7 email address. I
pasted them into cells of a Word table one at a time. One
was formatted by Word, the others not... Weird.

All the best,

In that case, I haven't a clue. Are you sure you didn't perhaps type a space
after pasting one of them in?

Hi again,

That's interesting... Of course it's possible, though I know
that I did not do that intentionally.

Thanks again,
