I've tried everything I can think of and the only thing that seems like
a clue is that once I receive my test email with a link in it, I open it
and when I forward, i can enter a carriage return after the URL which
seems to turn it on somehow.
 
I don't know what that tells me though but I'd sure rather the links be
live when they are originally opened. 
 
I can put in a static link in the merge doc and that works fine, it's
just the links that are gotten from a merge field in the excel workbook.
 
Any additional clues appreciated. /g

Subject: Excel Outlook Word email Merge Hyperlink



        In Excel I have contact information including a different url
for each record
         
        I used the Word mail merge wizard to create an electronic mail
merge
         
        The result should include a live hyper link to the web URL
         
        The result is the URL is not live, shows as just plain text.
         
         
        any advice appreciated.
