Responses
Just a suggestion...
It is rather irritating that the maximum size of the Link Checker panel is fixed and it isn't possible to see all the columns in full.
I have the luxury of two screens - but stretching Word across both screens doesn't permit me to see any more of the Link Checker panel.
It would also be useful if the panel could be un-docked and relocated elsewhere on the screen.

Hello Ken,
Thank you for your comment. I've forwarded your suggestion to our developers, they will look into the possibility to increase the maximum size of the add-in pane. In the meantime, you can select all links on the pane (Ctrl + A), copy to the clipboard (Ctrl + C), and paste them to some other application for further analysis.
As for relocating the pane, unfortunately, we won't be able to support it.
Unsure if this is a bug or just confusing operation.
Link Checker doesn't seem to like the structure of the email addresses I use in Word documents
In the side panel, I get a question mark against all email addresses in the document.
For each of them , the code at the bottom of the screen is:
WLC0019: The structure of the email address is invalid.
Searching your FAQ pages for WLC0019 does not bring up any result.
If I click on the 'Check Link' Icon the link is tested and I get a popup message:
1 links have been checked
Invalid links: 0
Questionable links: 0
and the question mark is removed.
So why does it think the think the structure of the email address is invalid?
