Pointer or cursor does not show hand over hyperlink

[Bufsabres]

I would like to know how to change the properties of a hyperlink. Currently the hyperlink does not show the hand to indicate there is a hyperlink under the cursor. How do I change the hyperlink to show the hand?

You're sure it's 2000? I just inserted a hyperlink into a Word 2000 doc and it shows a hand. What does yours show?

There are two links on the webpage. One shows the hand and the other does not. I would like to know how to change the link that does not show the hand, so ppl know there is a link there. I does this in Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0.

Okay, wait a minute.

Are we in Word or are we in Internet Explorer when the hand does not appear?

I'm assuming this isn't your page (ie you didn't create it) that the cursor doesn't change when it goes over the link.

If you surround the text within a hyperlink with a <span style="cursor:default"> </span> tag, you can force the pointer not to change to the hand

check this link to see more info on span style.
