Revert to the normal blue underlined hyperlink

Revert to the normal blue underlined hyperlink to formatted hyperlink text and vice verse.

This morning, my Word 2003 changed the normal blue underlined hyperlink to formatted text start with {HYPERLINK}. The text formatting and hyperlinks show as normal in Read View. After a short Google search, I found the solution by turning off the Field Codes, see below:

To turn on or off Field codes, you can do one of two things:

1. Alt+F9 (this turns them on and turns them back off when hit again)
2. Tools>Options>View tab. Check Field Codes. as shown in the pictures below:

Bypassing DNS Block of TM Streamyx

My friend told me he can't access to certain websites, such as the torrent sites piratebay and other sites. I knew it is because the government has gone against its unrestricted access to the internet promise and I knew a simple way to counteract this problem.

The solution is change the TM/Streamyx primary and secondary DNS of 202.188.0.133 and 202.188.1.5 respectively to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (which are Google DNS). 

This way, the internet data bypass the TM/Streamyx servers where the DNS blocking is done, and
go through Google without any censoring.


see illustration below:

double click the network icon and go to properties > tcpic > key in DNS value
