How to show blue links instead of { HYPERLINK link } in a document Word
For example, when you type an e-mail [email protected] and press space, you will see:
![Field instead of hyperlink in Word 2016 Field instead of hyperlink in Word 2016](/images/tips/554/1.png)
To change a representation of hyperlinks in a document, do the following:
1. On the File tab, click the Options button:
![Options in Word 2016 Options in Word 2016](/images/tips/word_button2016/word.png)
2. In the Word Options dialog box, on the Advanced tab, under Show document content, uncheck the Show field codes instead of their values checkbox:
![Advanced tab in Word Options 2016 Advanced tab in Word Options 2016](/images/tips/554/2_2016.png)
After clicking OK, all hyperlinks in the document will be shown as usual, as blue hyperlinks:
![Hyperlink in Word 2016 Hyperlink in Word 2016](/images/tips/554/3.png)
