When editing an e-mail message in Outlook you can come across hyperlinks being replaced by “field codes”. When this happens, instead of a standard link transferring you to an internet site, a text with an URL path appears.
A proper link: Contact Outlook-center.com forum
An improper link: Contact {Hyperlink “http://outlook-center.com/forum/”}
Removing the improper link and providing it again will not remove the erroneous effect.
To again trigger the standard hyperlink display you have to use the keyboard shortcut [Alt+F9]. After that by using the Ctrl key in the e-mail editor or by simply clicking with the mouse button in preview mode you can activate the hyperlink.
On the developers website you will find a list of keyboard shortcuts for the MS Word text editor, which is the default or, in case of Outlook 2007/2010, only editor of e-mail messages.
