Dear [whoever],
You don't say what version of Word you are using. If it's Word 2004 or
earlier (I don't have Word 2008), to stop Word automatically hyperlinking
every web address you type choose Tools menu » AutoCorrect » "AutoFormat as
you type". In the "Replace as you type" section, de-select "Internet paths
with hyperlinks".
You'll find more information on page 61 of some notes on the way I use Word
for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free
download from the Word MVPs' website
(
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html).
[Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and
most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to
read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the
front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select
some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.]
Cheers,
