WD2000: Hyperlink Is Nested Inside of Another Hyperlink

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you use a drag-and-drop operation to create a hyperlink in a Word 2000 document that already contains a hyperlink, the new hyperlink may be nested inside the existing hyperlink.

CAUSE

The insertion point was inside an existing hyperlink when you clicked Create Hyperlink Here on the shortcut menu that appeared when you completed the drag-and-drop operation.

WORKAROUND

Move the insertion point so that it is not positioned inside an existing hyperlink before you create the new hyperlink.
