text: Usually in word { XXX ... } is the form of a "field"\nTry right clicking in the middle of this text and see if you see an option named "Toggle Field Codes". Click it if you see it. That should show the link.\n\nOtherwise instead of typing the URL go to Insert->Hyperlink and insert the link. If you do it this way you also have the option of typing some text e.g. "Yahoo Home Page", then select it and right click->Hyperlink and type in the URL (http://www.yahoo.com). This way ppl in the document will see "Yahoo Home Page" as the text and on clicking it'll take them to correct URL, just looks better.
