Outlook - Auto-Creating Hyperlinks Not working

Asked By Larry Ford on 11-Jul-12 05:42 PM
I have a computer with a fresh install of Office 2007 Pro that makes me man=
ually create hyperlinks to websites. By manually I mean highlight the addre=
ss, right click, and choose hyperlink.  The site is always listed so I only=
need to click OK and the text becomes a hyperlink. I have never seen this be=
fore. Is there an setting the needs to be changed to automatically turn the=
se addresses into hyperlink? Usually I can type a websites address and hit =
the spacebar or enter and it becomes a link. I have only tried it in Word and=
Outlook.

It must be something fairly simple right?

If anyone else needs the answer to this.

In Word 2007:
- Click on the Office button.
- Click on "Word Options".
- Click on "Proofing".
- Click on "AutoCorrect Options".
- Choose the " AutoFormat as you Type" tab.
- Check the checkbox at "Internet and Network Paths with Hyperlink"

Now the hyperlinks in Word 2007 should work just fine.
