Hi Kathy,

No sooner said than done.  In the next release, there is a link in the Menus: 
Global: Hyperlink Settings, which takes you to a topic called "Hyperlinks" in 
"Working with Word".

And credit given to "Kathy from Australia".

This may be of interest. I don't know if anyone else has reported this before.

I received a Word file from a teacher where she had cut and pasted material 
from a website. The file looked perfectly normal, so I sorted out the 
formatting in Word, imported it into DBT, translated and checked it through.

I found a number of web links embedded in the braille which did not appear in 
the Word document, and were not wanted.

Investigation led me to use alt-F9 in Word, which then showed a number of 
hyperlink entries which were obviously coming through into DBT.

Further investigation on how to remove these I found that by selecting ALL in 
Word, then pressing ctrl-shift-F9, all hyperlink references were removed and 
everything was OK when translated in DBT.

Thus my observation is:
If you find computer material in a braille file which you don't necessarily 
want,  check the original Word document for hyperlinks (toggle alt-F9), and if 
you wish to remove these, select the document (or section) and press 
ctrl-shift-F9.
