Hyperlink Paste into Outlook 2007

Ok.. this is driving me nuts and I don't know if it's because I'm running Win
Vista x64 or what.

But anytime I compose a new email in HTML format in Outlook 2007 and paste
in a http://link it no longer converts it to a clickable URL and link text.
It's just normal text. I checked every setting I know of and to no avail..

This is my last hope before a reload.. :(

does it convert it to a hyperlink if you press Enter or add a space after
pasting?

Hi Diane,

No it doesn't typically after hitting enter it would then format it and
create a clickable link.
