Microsoft Word: How to Turn Off the Phrase "HYPERLINK"
Hello:
Yesterday, here on my laptop where I have Office 2010 64-bit installed, I was experimenting with hyperlinking for bookmarks.
Now, every document that I have saved on my laptop and any new document that I created that has an e-mail address on it or a URL is surrounded by the phrase "HYPERLINK" and squiggly line characters.
So, I cannot easily see the e-mail addresses or URLs of documents that I've had saved for years!
I can fix manually by right-clicking on the phrases and choosing "Remove Hyperlink".
But, that's quite annoying to do one at a time.
I tried the Word Options setting where I turn off the checkbox "Internet and Network Paths...". But, that did not solve the problem.
Is there any other setting? I can't believe that playing with hyperlinks on one document has caused this issue for all of my documents!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
