email merge gives lost h-links

[Teresa]

Hi,
We have an access db containing email addresses and a
word letter containing instructions and hyperlinks. When
we do an email merge, the hyperlinks become disabled in
the resulting email. When we merge the letter as an
attachment, the links are available using CTRL-click.

Is there a setting in security on client or our part that
causes this to happen? How can we send live links?

Thanks.
