Confusing rejection

[tpheif]

I am fairly new to Constant Content. I submitted one article, which was approved. My second article was rejected, but I am confused regarding the reason. The email says that it was rejected because it had "website addresses/links" in the article. I am absolutely certain this was not the case. I still have the draft of the article in my files and there are no links to anything. I would re-submit it, but I am unsure if the screening process is doing what it is supposed to do. Anyone have any thoughts?

Your article contains links. This frequently happens when someone copies and pastes from a a source that originally contained link. Until these links are removed, we will be unable to consider this article.

Thanks,
Ed

Try running your mouse over every word - the links should show up!

I will have to respectfully disagree with the suggestion that there are links. I understand that links can sometimes stay with a document when information is copied, but this was an original article with no pasted material. Nothing was copied from an external source.

It could be that the incorrect document was uploaded. However, in the document that was reviewed, links were present.

Thank you,
Ed

Where? What words?

I'm sure Ed can't possibly remember exactly which words were linked. I'd double check and resubmit.

Also, if you use Word, by default it will turn what it thinks are web addresses or email addresses into hyperlinks automatically. For example, if you write, "The website http://www.Constant-Content.com is a great place for writers," Word will automatically hyperlink 'www.Constant-Content.com' to 'http://www.Constant-Content.com.' Of course, it should be fairly obvious with its blue underline, but something to keep in mind.

Earlier someone mentioned a way to find "hidden" hyperlinks in a document but I can't remember the steps. I'll see if I can find that post.

Okay, here's the link to the discussion:

And, here's how to remove hyperlinks in Word 2007: Press CTRL+A to select the entire document and then press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to remove all hyperlinks. Just tried it and it works great!

Thank you all for your advice. None of this applies as there are no links, websites, or even references to websites in my document, but I appreciate the help. I will just have to re-submit and hope for the best.
