Susan,

Try this:

1. Tools AutoCorrect Options
2. Click on the "AutoFormat As You Type tab"
3. Click on the checkbox next to "Internet and network paths with
hyperlinks" (this should remove the checkmark)

Now any e-mail addresses and URLs that you type won't be converted to
hyperlinks, so they won't turn blue and become underlined.
