Default Hyperlink Issue in Word 2003

Have successfully created a number of hyperlinks to files elsewhere in the
document. The last one, however, extends the underline to any regular text
placed after it so that anything typed in becomes part of the previous
hyperlink. I have tried increasing the space after it but with no success.

Default Hyperlink Issue in Word 2003

Place a hard return after the final hyperlink. Then type some additional
text and right click on it. If it include an "Edit Hyperlink" option in
the pop-up list, select that and remove the link. If it does not, then
fix the formatting and then you can delete the text, but do not delete
the hard return.

Default Hyperlink Issue in Word 2003

Much thanks for the timely reply. Before following the advice I decided to
erase and retype the original text. This worked... However, the text is in
purple whereas the other hyperlink text is blue. It works the same but does
the color indicated something? Please advise

The purple color indicates that the link has already been clicked at least once
("visited" or "followed").
