Use the Convert all URL ... to active Hyperlinks and alter special Hypertext button to perform the changes.
Currently only user www. and http: and https: and ftp: and mailto: protocol scheme URL are converted to hyperlinks.
www. & http: are included as Family Historian misses any in "quotes" or <chevrons> despite being recommended formats.
Even user www. and http: hyperlinks created by Family Historian will have their method of opening changed.
In addition, if a user URL in any text field is embedded in an HTML Anchor Tag then it will be appropriately converted.
