I have a question in reference to my hyperlink formatting in previously saved "Word" documents and any new PDF attachments. I am using Windows XP on my Dell 4600 series, Pentium-4, home computer for homework.

All my saved "word" documents show:
{ HYPERLINK http://www.jobsinri.com/seek/coresults2.aspx?co_num=9560}
instead of correctly showing : BUILDERS SURPLUS

I know you can point the cursor on the unformatted bracket hyperlink and then right-click to select "Remove Hyperlink"- which then returns it to the proper BUILDERS SURPLUS link. My question becomes is there a way to restore each document, the entire page(s) in one shot as opposed to selecting each hyperlink on every paragraph in one document manually? by repeating the manual process above?

Somehow I managed to change the formatting on all my saved "Word" documents and PDF attachments in emails to Hyperlink bracket instead of the actual URL link in example above: BUILDERS SURPLUS . I have gone to Tools->"Autocorrect Options" then selecting "Auto format" & "Auto format as you type" and putting a checkmark in the "Internet and Network paths with hyperlinks" but that only solves my problem for new "Word" documents not previously "saved" ones on my computer.

I appreciate any help and assistance in this tangled web that I have woven myself into.

Sincerely,
John

What you are seeing is Field Codes and you can turn these on/off.

In Word 2000 the keyboard shortcut is Shift+F9 to toggle the field code on'off for an individual link.

Alt+F9 toggles the field code view on'off for the whole document.

 Open up one of the affected documents and press Alt+F9. It should all return to what you expect.

Any documents that you have used to create a PDF copy from will need to be reprinted to PDF to correct the PDF copy.
