Mail Merge Apostrophe Problem

L

Leon

I was using Windows Me, Microsoft Access 2000 and Microsoft Word 2000
and mail-merge to create hypertext links for records. Some records
didn't need a hypertext link and I used an IF statement to control
this ([alt] + [F9]). I used { symbol 147 } and { symbol 148 } to
replace the apostrophes in the html code.

Unfortunately, my computer died on me and I had to use a laptop. I
installed the same versions of Microsoft Access 2000 and Microsoft
Word 2000 onto the laptop but the operating system is Microsoft
Windows XP Home Edition. The hypertext links that I generate with my
laptop look identical to those generated by my old computer (which are
currently on the internet) except the apostrophes are slightly bigger
and when I click them I just get an error page stating the usual "The
Page Cannot Be Displayed". I think the apostrophes must be the problem
since when I switch them over with ones in the original hypertext
links it works.

Please let me know what the solution is to this problem.

Best Regards,
Leo

I'm not sure what is going wrong here (or exactly what you are doing), but
have you checked that the Word options for
a. Autocorrect
b. Autocorrect as you type

are the same in both copies of Word?
