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.
URL recognition also recognizes anything with the '@' symbol as an email address. Turning this option off will cause email addresses to remain unrecognized. |
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.
