Hi Michael

Assuming it's as simple as it sounds, you just need to ensure that your URL looks www.example.com or http://example.com (you can also do http://www.example.com).

This method will turn the text into clickable hyperlinks that will open your default browser to the website.

If you do example.com then it will not recognise it as a web address.

Here's the example mentioned. Note the middle option is not recognised as a hyperlink.

I hope that it was the solution for you!

Cheers
