Word is converting hyperlinks into HTML

Question

This morning when I opened a Word document containing hyperlinks, they had all been converted into this format :

{HYPERLINK"http://www.webaddress.com"}  I cannot find a way to make them change back into links.  HELP!  I need to make a hot list for my students!

Thanks!

This is Word 2008 for MAC.  My OS is 10.5.8

Answer 1

Should be - I always find Daiya Mitchell's page a handy starting point for the Mac Word keystrokes for working with fields:

Answer 2

Maybe Option+F9?

Answer 3

In Windows we would use the <ALT F9> shortcut keys to toggle display of field codes. We can also do it using Tools / Options / View tab / turn off the "Field Codes" option.

I'm not sure how that translates into "appleze".

Answer 4

Thanks!  This is part of the answer...on the extended Mac keyboard, you have to hold down option+F9 PLUS there is a function key between the qwerty keys and the numeric keypad labeled fn.  Hold down all three keys at once and PRESTO!

Thanks again to all who responded!
