How do I stop automatic underlining of URLs?

URLs (Uniform Reference Locators) appear underlined and in a different color from the rest of my text. How do I reverse this setting?



To stop automatic underlining of URLs:

  • Select Tools > AutoCorrect Options and then the Options tab.
  • Scroll down in the list that appears to the choice called 'URL recognition'.
  • Click the box to the left of this choice to turn the behavior off.
  • Click OK at the bottom of the dialog to apply the change.

Template:Documentation/Note

To selectively determine which addresses should be treated as links, leave URL recognition on, but turn off recognition by the following:

  • Hold the left click and drag select the entire address.
  • Right click on the selected address and select Default Formatting.

An address which has converted to a link may be converted back to normal text by entering Ctrl-Z before the text cursor is moved.
