Field code view / Normal hyperlink View Paste Options in MS Word document

While I was pasting some search results from pubmed into a word document, links were showing as field code like the following instead of normal hypelink.

------------------------- Field code view
{ HYPERLINK "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22268043" }

{ HYPERLINK "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?db=pubmed&cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&uid=22268043"}

------------------------ Normal hyperlink View


Paratesticular liposarcoma: a radiologic pathologic correlation.
To overcome this problem and to paste as normal hypelink do this.

Go to File -> Options (Office icon, Word Options in Word 2007) Advanced -> Show document contents and uncheck Show filed codes instead of thier values.
