Hi,

If I understand your concern, if you copy a hyperlinked word and paste it into a MS Works document, only plain text is copied hence the blue disappearing. To my knowledge, this would happen if you are using Opera, but should not be if your browser is either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and if you are using MS Word.

In Microsoft Work, you need to verify that it will handle hyperlinking. Open an existing Microsoft Works document, highlight any word, right click on it and see if their is an option to insert a hyperlink. Alternately, click on a command at the Menu bar and check if there is such a feature. If yes, then it would be a setting in the options menu, if none, then your Works would not allow hyperlinking.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Try encasing your links in arrows ( < > ) like this:

<http://ThisIsTheLinkImTryingToSave.com>

This is how I do it and it works in some situations like when trying to send a link in a chat room. Give it a try, It can't hurt.
I hope this does the trick for you,

I want to copy an Excel chart as a Image onto a PowerPoint Slide (Office 2007). What is the sequence of APIs to apply?

Copy worksheet data to a PowerPoint presentation
  1. In Excel, select the worksheet data that you want to copy to a PowerPoint presentation.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Copy za006044679.gif.

za010165428.gif

Keyboard shortcut You can also press CTRL+C.

  1. Click in the PowerPoint presentation where you want to paste the copied worksheet data.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.

Keyboard shortcut You can also press CTRL+V.

  1. Click Paste Options za006043532.gif next to the data, and then do one of the following:
    • To use the original format of the copied data, click Keep Source Formatting.
    • To use the document theme that is applied to the PowerPoint presentation, click Use Destination Theme.
    • To paste table data that you copied as text, click Keep Text Only.

Notes

  • If you don't see the Paste Options button, you may have to turn it on. Click the Microsoft Office Button za010077102.gif, and then click PowerPoint Options. In the Advanced category, under Cut, Copy, and Paste, select the Show Paste Options buttons check box.
  • If you paste the data into a PowerPoint table, the Paste Options button is not displayed.
Tips
  • To paste the data in another format (such as a worksheet object, HTML format, bitmap, picture, or to text format) or to paste a link to the source data in Excel, on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the arrow on the Paste button, and then click Paste Special. In the As list, click the format that you want to use.
    • If you want to edit the entire worksheet later, click Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object. Clicking Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object provides access to the entire worksheet in the presentation, including data that you may want to keep private. To automatically update the table in the presentation when changes are made to the source data in Excel, click Paste link. Both of these options also preserve the Excel formatting, even when the formatting features that are used are not supported in PowerPoint. If you saved the source workbook before you copied the data, you can also click Attach Hyperlink to insert a hyperlink in your presentation that directs you to the source data in Excel.
    • To paste the content as an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) (OLE: A program-integration technology that you can use to share information between programs. All Office programs support OLE, so you can share information through linked and embedded objects.) PowerPoint application icon (rather than pasting the actual content), click Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object, and then select the Display as icon check box. You can click the icon to open the application and then view the content.
    • If you want to use HTML to copy the data to PowerPoint into a PowerPoint table, click HTML format.
    • To paste a static picture, click Device Independent Bitmap or Bitmap, or to paste a picture that can be ungrouped, click Picture (Enhanced Metafile) or Picture (Windows Metafile).
    • To paste the data as formatted or unformatted text, click Formatted Text (RTF) or Unformatted Text.
  • To paste the data as a hyperlink that directs you to the source data in Excel, click the arrow on the Paste button, and then click Paste As Hyperlink. If the workbook that contains the source data has not been saved yet, this option is unavailable.
  • If you want the range of data that you paste as a Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object into a PowerPoint presentation to expand when the corresponding data expands on the Excel worksheet, you can define a name (name: A word or string of characters that represents a cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value. Use easy-to-understand names, such as Products, to refer to hard to understand ranges, such as Sales!C20:C30.) for the range of data in Excel before you copy the data. You can then paste a link to the named range by using the Paste Special command. On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the arrow on the Paste button, click Paste Special, and then click Paste link. This works only when you copy data that is not in table format in Excel.

I get various messages from face book that says follow this site below. How do I do that

I'm not sure which question you are asking, so I'll discuss both possibilities:

(1) If you want to follow a site because you are interested in the topic, go to that site's page in Facebook and click the "Like" button. For example, if you are interested in the computer that recently played Jeopardy, you could enter "IBM Watson" in the Facebook search box, and then click the Like button on that page:
nonnal.png
(2) If you want to follow a link that was sent to you in an e-mail from Facebook, then you should ensure that you are connected to the Internet and then single-click on the link. If it's not a hyperlink (usually you can spot a hyperlink because it's underlined and colored blue), then you can copy and paste the link into your web browser. For example, you can highlight the text (from "http:" all the way through the end of that string of characters), then hit Ctrl-C (hold down the Control key on your keyboard and tap "C") to copy, then go to your web browser and hit Ctrl-V in the address bar to paste the link in there. Hit Enter and you should be good to go!

If neither of these options answers your question, please feel free to provide additional detail regarding your problem.

Have a great day!
