Removing hyperlinks created automatically

[ShaneUK20]

1. When you type a path like \\computer\share\file.doc OneNote tries to turn
it into a hyperlink. In Word you can switch this off by unchecking Internet
and Network Paths with hyperlinks in the Tools menu, Autocorrect and the
Autoformat as you type tab. Can you switch it off in OneNote?
2. If you cannot how do you remove them? I've tried right clicking but
Remove Hyperlink is greyed out. I can edit the hyperlink but not remove it.
Grrrr! I wouldn't mind but it gets them wrong if there's a space in the UNC.

Any help would lower my blood pressure. Thanks in advance.

Hi Shane,

OneNote's hyperlink is a little different. There's no way to turn it off.
As a work around, you can add "< >" around your path, so that even if there
are spaces, the entire path will be recognized as a link.

For example, <\\computer\share space\file.doc>

Hope this helps!
