Hyperlink behaviour in Word 2000

I look after several machines with Word 2000 loaded.

On some, when the user types in a web URL in lower case, Word highlights it in blue, underlines it and shows it as a hyperlink. This is OK.

On other machines, Word changes the URL to capitals before it applies the colour and underline - and it's this behaviour that I want to turn off.

I want the URL to stay in lower case and I cannot find anywhere in Word to turn this automatic behaviour off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Steve

Have you looked at the Hyperlink Style used on the other machines?
See if it has been changed to All Caps font

Try this ... go into format -> styles, then in the "list" list box choose all styles, now choose hyperlink in the "styles" list box and click the "modify" button. Next, in the "modify style" window, click the "format" button and choose font. Finally, in the "font" window, uncheck the "all caps" box. This should fix the problem.

Remember to remove any spaces.

Hope this helps.
