Doesn't create links, or you can't click on a link?

There are a number of settings in word that can affect this.

If the first:
Autocorrect - Autoformat  and
Autocorrect  - Autoformat As You Type
 - Internet and Network Paths with hyperlinks

If the second:
Tools - Options - Edit - Use Ctrl + Click to follow hyperlink
or
Tools - Options - View - Show Field Codes


Alternatively it may be this problem:

kbprb KB823301 - Hyperlinks Do Not Work in Outlook Express or in Word

SYMPTOMS 
In Microsoft Outlook Express and in Microsoft Word, hyperlinks appear in underlined blue 
text, but when you click a hyperlink, nothing may occur.  

RESOLUTION 
To resolve this problem, follow these steps: 
1.	Click Start, click Run, type the following command in the Run dialog box, and then 
click OK: regsvr32 urlmon.dll 

2.	Repeat step 1 for each of the following commands:  

regsvr32 mshtml.dll
