Default Making an ActiveX Text Control a Hyperlink

Hi

I am a novice to VBA so please excuse my ignorance or lack of etiquette for 'cross-posting'. If I have broken any etiquette - please forgive me.

I have an ActiveX Textbox control in a Word document that is successfully pulling an email address from a spreadsheet. However, as the textbox is pulling across an email address, I would like the textbox to be a clickable hyperlink, but I cant figure out how to do this.



Any help would be appreciated.

You can't make the text displayed by an ActiveX control into a clickable hyperlink.
