Question Hyperlink text automatically generated too long and has braces { }

I greatly appreciate MS Word automatically adding hyperlinks, but recently somehow/when instead of a simple working hyperlink like:





ESPN: Serving sports fans. Anytime. Anywhere.


...it automatically generates:


{ HYPERLINK "http://espn.com"}


I have played with the proofing --> autocorrect options --> AutoFormat settings to no avail.



The longer generated hyperlinks make documents and footnotes a real slog to work through! How can I keep the automatic hyperlink function without the loooong text? Help!

Sounds like your field codes are showing. What happens if you press Alt-F9 to toggle them?
