The link is already dead, would you mind posting what you've done to solve the problem? – BloodPhilia Oct 4 '10 at 17:08
Alt-F9 will toggle between displaying field codes (e.g., {HYPERLINK whatever} and the actual values (e.g., \\whatever). That's probably what the linked page said. – Alex Oct 4 '10 at 18:33

If you want to solve this hyperlink problem in Microsoft Word 2007 you’ll need to take the following steps. Click on the Office button Select Word options And select Advanced. Now scroll down and in the section “show document content” you need to uncheck “show field codes instead of their values”. Now click OK and you done and your Hyperlink problem is solved. – danbo Oct 5 '10 at 13:58
