configuration of Internet and Network types?

[tcoalson]

Reposting a question from general to programming...

Is there a way to configure Word through the registry or some other
means to recognize a text value as a hyperlink? By default, Word will
make http://some value or file://some value a hyperlink when you hit
enter if you have the "Autoformat as you type" option specified for
Internet and Network Paths with hyperlinks. Can I configure Word to
make Joe:// to be recognized as an Internet path so that Word will
automatically apply a hyperlink without any manual intervention?

Thanks for your help!

I do not think you can do that as you would like to.

You could have a macro that runs when you save the document that searches
for all continuous texts that start with Joe:// and apply the Hyperlink
style to it.

Would that do?

I was really hoping this could simply be configured. Macros are
certainly a second choice as I would like this behavior in several of
the Office Products...in particular Outlook and Word.
