format on e-mail address in letters

[Guest]

I often use my e-mail addresses in my return address on letters. Word ALWAYS
automaticlly changes the font color to Blue and underlines the e-mail
address. How can I format Word NOT to do this? I always have to ; 1)
highlight address; 2) click format; 3) click on fonts; 4) click on color, and
manualy choose black; 5) click on underline and click on none. This is vey
anoying.

Go to the Tools > AutoCorrect Options dialog, click the AutoFormat As
You Type tab (not the plain AutoFormat tab), and uncheck "Internet and
network paths with hyperlinks".

In general, when you're annoyed by Word's auto-unhelpful-wrong-guess
behavior, visit
