Hyperlinks go haywire in Word
I am having trouble with hyperlinks in a list. Each line item starts with a name which may of may not be hyperlinked, followed by certain genealogical data (birth, death, marriage, etc.). The first 17 names on my test file are OK. Four of the names are hyperlinked. Starting with name 18 things get mixed up. Name 18 has a hyperlink which works fine, but all of the following data is also hyperlinked to it. This is unintended and not a problem on the first 17 names. Name 19 is also hyperlinked, but is also hyperlinked to names (lines) 20-37.
Name 38 is hyperlinked OK, but the data following it is hyperlinked to name 19 as is name 39 and its data. Name 40 is hyperlinked to name 38 and its data is hyperlinked to name 19 and so on.
It appears that each next name and the data following is hyperlinked to the previous name that had a hyperlink no matter how many non-hyperlinked intervening names. The following data should not be hyperlinked to anything.
Everything was fine when the file was first generated and ultimately formatted to HTML for the web. Somehow it has been corrupted, probably when new names were updated.
I have remade the file twice. It seems to work fine for a while, but then goes haywire again.
I know this is not too clear, but any suggestions would be thoroughly appreciated. I have uploaded the test file. The master file is on the internet, and I'll provide the URL if requested.
