How do I get e-mail addresses to be in hyperlink automatically

[Cyclone57]

In the older version of Windows I could type an e-mail address or web site as
I was preparing a letter and it would automatically put into a hyperlink
mode. How do I do this with Windows 7?

It has nothing to do with the version of Windows. What version of Word do
you have?

Hi,

To make sure that automatic hyperlinks has not been disabled, do the
following.

In Word 2007:

2. Click Proofing.
3. Click the AutoCorrect Options button, and then click the AutoFormat As
You Type tab.
4. Verify that the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box is
selected.

In Word 2003:
1. On the Tools menu, click Autocorrect Options.
2. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
3. Verify that the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box is

To create a hyperlink to an e-mail address, type an e-mail address. The
e-mail address must contain the at sign (@) and at least one period between
two characters after the at sign. You can add terminating punctuation. When
you press the spacebar after the e-mail address, the e-mail address should
become a hyperlink.
