Right. Some fields automatically update, and some don't. I suspect the lack
of auto-update has something to do with resource conservation. So... is the bottom line that you now have this sorted out and working?

Sure. Since you're using a Mac, though, I can't be sure how to tell you
where the setting is. In the PC versions, though... Tools - AutoCorrect Options - AutoFormat As You Type. Remove the check next to Internet and Network Paths. If you don't do this, then Word will automatically convert stuff that looks like links into links. Then, just insert/list your links. If you want them to look like links but not be links, then color them blue and underline them. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "1191" wrote in message ...

If all you put was the text -- and note completed links -- then Word should
not be converting them into links once you've turned that autoformat option off. Are you sure your list is plain text, and not html-laden? Another thing you try is rather than pasting, use Edit - Paste Special - Unformatted text. If there is html embedded in the passage you're pasting, this should strip it out. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "1191" wrote in message ...
