Thanks for your response.
User is not using Word as email editor. She wants hyperlinks to link to
test them before email them out. www.cnn.com or http://www.cnn.com
Within Word you can click Tools | Options | Edit and deselect "CTRL +
Click
to follow hyperlink" to make your links click without using the CTRL key.
Try it.
Yes, the link text changes color and becomes underlined, but no, there is
no
hover or hyperlink activity. I duplicate that response on my PC whenever
using HTML as the mail format. Word setting do affect Outlook if as
suggested above Outlook has the setting

No it doesn't. Outlook is using the setting to use Word Autocorrect if

and
they are checked to use hyperlinks. We don't see the autoformat

within Outlook.
At this point I'm becoming convinced it is a Registry problem. Do you
know
of any fixes in that area we could try? We seems to have all the
settings
correct but the feature still doesn't work. TIA...
Not a registry issue (regarding the URL scheme). URL links are nothing
but plain text. That's it. If an e-mail client shows something special
about a particular string it is because that client parsed the string
and gave it special formatting, like underlining, and made it clickable
(to use whatever handler is associated to the filetype for that string).
Why is the person *writing* the e-mail trying to click on the URL
string? I don't use Word for composing e-mails. It shoves in way too
much bloat and directives that can only be used by a recipient that also
uses Word to read that e-mail. But as I recall, for URL strings within
a document, you have to hit Ctrl+mouseclick to make the string clickable
in Word. If using Word to compose your e-mails, have you used Word's
scheme of clicking on URL-like strings in the document? In Word, when
you hover the mouse over the URL string, a popup appears telling you to
hit Ctrl and then do the mouse click. If you don't see the hover help
or Word hasn't changed the coloring and added underlining to the URL
string then perhaps it is because you haven't entered a valid URL
string. What URL string(s) are you adding to the document?
Are you using Word as the e-mail editor or are you using the e-mail
editor embedded in Outlook 2003? Changing AutoFormat options in Word
make no difference if you aren't using Word to compose the document. If
using the embedded editor in Outlook 2003, it has its own AutoCorrect
settings.
Is the e-mail editor (Word or Outlook 2003) actually showing the URL
string as a clickable link?
