Outlook Hyperlink Using Folder Names with Symbols
This is a problem I am having with Outlook, but since hyperlinks work in Word and Excel, I included them in the zone selection
Employees with my comany like to email hyperlinks to file folders on the network drive to each other when referencing a particular project. I had a problem recently where the folder name that was referenced included a symbol (i.e. Review #1). We replaced the "#" with "No. " and it worked perfectly. Similarly if the filename, in this case Review #1.pdf, includes the symbol, the hyperlink will not work.
Is there a way to get the hyperlinks to work with symbols?

The pound sign (#) is essetially a reserved character in hyperlinks since it is used to denote a link to a bookmark on a page.
