Seeing hyperlink code

[BethBasketGirl]

When I paste a webpage into Word I'm seeing the code and not the final
product. Where do I find the setting to change that so the document looks
like the webpage?

You will probably need to move to Web Page Preview and save the document as
HTML before it looks proper

What "code" are you talking about?

If it looks like { HYPERLINK www.something.com }, then press Alt+F9 to
toggle from field codes to field results.

what you typed is what it looks like in my word docs as well as footers.
alt+F9 did not work but if I right click on { HYPERLINK www.something.com },
and click on "select hyperlink" then just the web site address appears as
normal. I save the word document and open it again and its right back to {
HYPERLINK www.something.com } again. It only started doing this "magically"
about a week ago. It's like some universal setting got checked off by
mistake and I don't know how to turn it off. It's only on my computer in
word becasue when I email the document to others they don't see it.

aaaahhhh!!!!

I assure you that Alt+F9 will toggle these field codes. If just a single
code is toggled, you may have to press Alt+F9 twice. Or you can go to the
View tab of Tools | Options and clear the check box for "Field codes."
