Re: my hyperlink disappears and alt + F9 doesn't help



Stephan,

I'm having the same issue and have gone through all the steps you have
suggested. I have also re-loaded Office 2003 in case there was a damaged
file, I tried to make a hyperlink in Excel and it works just fine.
I have gone to tools, auto correct and checked all of that.
When I make a email hyperlink in a Doc the text turns underlined blue and
looks like it should but you cannot get it to activate, When you go back to
edit hyperlink it is not listed in the box where placed when created.
Documents created in other versions (2000) work fine in 2003 but you just
cannot create a link either email or web. It like something is turned off but
all the fore mentioned has been verified.
Thank you for any suggestions. I'm running Win2000 pro. BTW.

On the Format menu, click Styles and Formatting. If "Hyperlink" and
"FollowedHyperlink" are not listed: Under "Show," click "Custom," make sure
the style names are checked, and then click OK. Under "Show," choose "All
Styles."

When you can see the styles, right-click each of them to bring up the
context menu. Click the Modify command.

In the Modify Style dialog box, click Format, Font, and make sure that the
font color is "Black" (or "Auto") and that the "Hidden" option is cleared.
When you are done, click OK to close the Font dialog box. Then click OK to
close the Modify Style dialog box.

Does this fix the issue?

How do you check the formatting of the hyperlink and followedhyperlink
character styles so that they haven't been modified to include hidden or
white text?

When I
type a web address the hyperlink is there but the text I typed
disappears. I
tried clicking alt F9 and I tried editing the hyperlink, but I can't
keep it
from dissappearing.
