When I copy text from a website which includes hyperlinks into a word document, it changes the hyperlink into something like this: {HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acropolis" \o "Acropolis }. This is on an XP Home computer w/ Word 2000. When the word document is emailed to another computer, it contains only the word (ie acropolis)/hyperlink and not the extra... How do I get the word document to copy/paste the link only?

paste it into Notepad first, then copy from there and paste into WORD. That will strip all formatting and paste just the text. After that, if you want the link to be clickable, highlight it, right click and choose hyperlink.
