I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty frustrating when Word automatically inserts a hyperlink when I type a web address.  I’d prefer to maintain the control of when and if I want a hyperlink!  So, here you are, instructions on how to diable the Automatic Hyperlinks in Word 2003 and Word 2007.

Word 2003

• Click Tools
• Click AutoCorrect Options
• Click AutoFormat As You Type
• Uncheck “Internet and Network Paths”

Word 2007

• Click the Office Button

• Click Word Options

• Click Proofing from the left-hand pane

• Click AutoCorrect Options

• Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab
• Uncheck “Internet and network paths with hyperlinks”

• Click OK
• Click OK

And that should do it!
