PRJ98: Hyperlink Does Not Appear Correctly in the Notes Field (194971)

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods.

Use Insert Hyperlink

Instead of using the Notes field, use the Insert Hyperlink command to insert a hyperlink for a task. To insert a hyperlink, follow these steps:

1. On the Insert menu, click Hyperlink.
2. In the Link To File Or URL box, type the path to the appropriate location and click OK.

View the Notes Field Outside of a Form View

If you view the Notes field outside of a form view, the hyperlink will work correctly. For example, you can insert the Notes column in the Gantt View. To do this, click Column on the Insert menu; click Notes in the Field Name list, and click Best Fit.

Reformat Text to Look Like a Hyperlink

NOTE: Formatting the text to match that of a hyperlink does not allow you to open the hyperlink from a form view such as the Task Information dialog box. It only makes the formatting consistent.

To format text to appear as a hyperlink, follow these steps:

1. Select the text that you want to format.
2. Click the Font button (the button with the "A" on it).
3. Select the options you want to change. To match a hyperlink's format, change Color to Blue and click to select the Underline check box.
4. Click OK.
