Word 2010 hyperlink display

**smoggindakrak** · 07-07-2011

Hello all, I hope someone will be able to help...

All of a sudden my Word 2010 started displaying hyperlinks within text like this:

... by immunohistochemical stains ({HYPERLINK \l "TAB_24_1"}). Some pituitary ...

instead of this:

... by immunohistochemical stains (Table 24-1). Some pituitary...

I also noted that with that I am not able to insert page numbers and/or footers. The page numbers do not change progressively. Instead all pages are numbered as page 1.

In the footer, where there should be the page number it inserts this instead:

{PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT}

All documents that have been created before with hyperlinks and page numbers and footers now open with the changes that I describe above...

Can some one shed light on what might have happened and whether anything can be done to fix it, please?

Thanks in advance
