Hyperlinks in Email Merge

[Teddy]

I am trying to perform an email merge from Word to Outlook 07. The merge
works fine, but when I send the email all embedded hyperlinks appear as plain
text. This problem does not occur when I merge and email the same document
from other PCs in the office. I thought it was a setting on my PC, but I
have recently acquired a brand new computer and still have the same problem.
Is there a setting in Outlook I need to adjust to enable hyperlinks? I only
run into the missing hyperlink problem in my emails when I'm performing an
email merge.

We are running Windows XP Professional service pack 2 and Outlook 07.

I don't know the origin of this problem and have not checked on Office 2007,
but...
a. the following article may be relevant even in Office 2007:

b. I would also experiment with unchecking

Microsoft Office Button|Word Options|Advanced|Web Options...Files"Update
links on
save"

although I have no evidence to suggest that will make a difference in this
case.
