I have a doc with email addresses in it. they turn blue and underline. When I print it, they don't show up. It is blank where they are. They do show up in print preview. Also, I printed an email with the same type of address/underlining, etc. in it, and it printed fine.
Thanks for the help...

Greetings,

You don't say which version of Word you have, but there's most likely a check box in one of your Options. Go to Tools - Options - and check the General, View and Print tabs to see if there's an option to view and/or print hyperlinks ornot. you most likely have one checked to not print.

Update.. The link did not print from outlook.. I was wrong. I am using word97 and tried the suggestion from maxwell.. If I click on the Field Codes, that line prints along with the words HYPERLINK mailto: That is okay, but I'm afraid of what it might to to other documents..

Do they print if you change the Format of the Hyperlink style to Black or Auto? Or you could right click on the links to remove the links if there is not too many.

Yup.. You got it right!!! I changed the color to auto and they printed. So I guess my printer is out of colored ink. Any idea why it didn't just default to black? I just printed the windows test page and it should be color but came out all b/w. so why wouldn't the links do that? If you can answer, please do.. but in the meantime, you solved my problem and I thank you very much..
