Default Links in email messages won't turn blue

Did you check the autocorrect settings in Tools, Options, Spelling,
Autocomplete button? There is an option there to convert web addresses to
urls - make sure it is enabled.

I just upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and had to reinstall Office 2007. Now
when ever I type a new email and I want to type a URL or copy and past a
URL
the URL will not automaticlly turn blue, underline and become hyperlinked.
Yes I have pressed the space bar and even the enter key after inserting
the
URL. I have been doing this for years but now my upgraded system won't do
it.
My signature email address and website is hyperlinked and I can right
click
and add a hyperlink and that all works as it should. The message format
is
HTML. I have reset my browser making sure IE 8 is the default browser. I
have read through several posting but I have not seen my answer. I have
been
copy and pasting URLs from the IE address bar into Outlook for a long
time.
It has always worked great. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.
