I followed your detailed recipe to the letter, and all the URLs are now blue and underlined. However, when I click on any of them, I get an MS Word warning, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer". What now? The computer is mine, a fairly new Dell desktop running Win XP. I have no memory of setting any relevant restrictions.

If you open the Word doc and press Alt+F9, do the URLs change to something that looks like { HYPERLINK "http://www.microsoft.com"; } ? If not, then they're not hyperlinks, which explains why they're not blue or clickable, but you can easily change the URLs to hyperlinks by clicking on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type | check the "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" box | OK, and then typing a space at the end of each URL. If the URLs *are* hyperlinks, then click on Tools | Options | Edit | uncheck the "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink" box | OK, and then try clicking on one of the URLs again.

I've got a Word doc with a bunch of well-formed URLs, but none of
them are blue and clickable. How do I make them so?

Thanks,
