I must have hit a setting of some sort or something.

whenever I cut or copy a simple website.....like

http://www.msn.com/

for example, then when I go to paste it in an email I want to send when I am using Microsoft Office it pastes okay but then when I hit the enter button it looks like this..........

{HYPERLINK "hTTP://www.msn.com/"}

the word hyperlink shows with the brackets. How can I undo that so the website just shows.

No settings I am adjusting is changing the above from happening. Hell, on my "signature" that I have created with my name, and work address and email address, which is automatic when I send my emails, it's even on there.

Did you switch to sending "text" emails as a default?

Only think I can think of off the top of my head.

Press Alt+F9.

Thank you WebFire, that fixed it.
