Disable Automatic Hyperlinks

When you're typing an e-mail address or a Web address, e.g., leva@myprovider.com or www.my-web-address.com, the instant you finish typing the address, Word converts it into a blue underlined hyperlink. The link is "hot," so if you accidentally click on it, it will open a web page.

You can avoid this by changing your Word settings. Here's how.

In Word, click Tools, AutoCorrect, AutoFormat As You Type, and then uncheck the box that's reads Internet and Network Paths with Hyperlinks.
