I do not want Word to auto-format web addresses as hyperlinks because most of
my Word documents are to be printed for mailing or faxing, therefore I don't
want every URL printed in blue and underlined. When I turn off this feature
in Tools/AutoCorrect Options, it gets turned back on every time I start a new
document or open an existing one. I've even tried editing the normal.dot
template, but the feature is still turned on in every new or existing
document I open. How can I turn off this annoying feature for every document
by default and have it stick???
Thanks for your help.
Create AutoNew and AutoOpen macros in your Normal.dot template as shown at the
end of
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm, and include in each of them
the line
Options.AutoFormatAsYouTypeReplaceHyperlinks = False
to turn off that specific feature. (You may want to keep, delete, or modify and
of the other settings that Graham shows in his samples.)
