Hi -

I'm trying to create a hyperlink of an email address in Word 2003.

There's an "&" in the email address. I know..strange, but true - but it's not coming out on the hyperlink.

If I make the hyperlink for d@d&d.com, it opens a mail addressed to just "d@d". I've tried making the hyperlink with & amp ; (no spaces of course) but that comes out the exact same way.

I've searched tech support forums, the Microsoft forums and general Google and can't find anything that answers this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit the hyperlink and use mailto:d@d%26d.com

It's the & that's causing the problem.

Thanks, Bizzo! That worked! I was trying the HTML versions without success.
