Hyperlinks won't format

Perplexed

Hey guys, thanks in advance. Have Word 2000 and recently it hasn't been letting me format any hyperlinks. When I do type one in it looks like this {HYPERLINK "http://www.yahoo.com"}, without being blue or underlined, just the black text. The same problem happens when I try to copy/paste from a web page. All of the hyperlinks revert to text that look like the example above. I've gone through the tools -> autocorrect path and checked the format box and unchecked it and also reinstalled word, but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions.

Perplexed,
You're seeing the field codes.

Press ALT+F9 to see hyperlinks displayed the way you're used to seeing them.

LOL, Thank you, thank you, thank you, from a Word imbecile. I've been working with word for years and never knew how to do that. Oh, well, thank you again.
