text hyperlinks won't link

[Guest]

Hi...running MS Word 2004 on a non-Intel IMac. When I create hyperlinks and
click on them, they refuse to link me anywhere. However, the text preceding
them notes they are hyperlinks. So. 1) how do I make the text turn blue and
act as a hyperlink? and 2) How do I lose the actual text that says HYPERLINK?

Thank you for dealing w/my ignorance on these matters,

Mat Edelson

Hi Mat,

You've got View Fields on. So the hyperlink has been created, you just
can't see it. Go to Word | Preferences | View and uncheck Field Codes.
Then you should see blue underlined clickable hyperlinks.

If that doesn't work, or for future Mac Office questions, it's better to
post in the Mac-specific MS groups.
