Hyperlink Default Behavior

Question

My Microsoft Word does not allow auto hyperlinks.  Here's an example of how it shows up.  I need the default behavior to allow for hyperlinks to be clickable and show in the file.

I have searched the Help files with no luck.  Does anyone know how to change the default behavior to show the hyperlink in regular format and allow for it to be clickable from within the document?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Your screen shot did not post (you must use the Insert image button on the editor toolbar to insert an image file stored on your HD), but the default for hyperlinks in Word is Ctrl+click, and I suspect that it was this popup that you were attempting to illustrate. You can change this setting in your copy of Word, but it will not affect the way the hyperlink behaves on someone else's system (that will depend on his/her settings). As for the display, this is determined by the Hyperlink dialog; you can have the display test either replicate the URL or be some other text (or even an image).
