Hyperlinks in MS Word 2000

MS Word bugs

[Timothy Hill]

I've been working on a pretty sizeable (roughly 50 pages printed) MS Word document and inserting numerous links to web pages throughout it. This worked well for a while, and then at some point Word started adding links - often nonsensically - where I hadn't wanted them. This has gotten pretty extreme, with the application adding up to 9 (incompatible) links to surround a given word of text. The problem, as far as I can tell, gets worse the greater the number of links you deliberately add.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and the only thing that comes to mind today is pasting your data into NotePad first, then cut it out for installation into Word.

By design, Word takes 'everything' (i.e., font size, color, bold/italics, etc.) on a copy & paste function. NotePad reduced this to hard returns and defaults to Times NR (?) w/standard 12pt. font and nothing else.

Like I said, been awhile. Know this, paste to NotePad first and then to Word significantly reduces the clutter attributed to whatever the hell it is I'm trying to describe. Perhaps this will work for your use too.
