I deselected the "internet and network paths with hyperlinks" under the
AutoFormat As You Type and the AutoFormat. Why do hyperlinks still appear
when I paste info from the internet? Is there some other why to prevent these
hyperlinks from appearing, without selecting one at a time.

Either use paste special unformatted text to paste text containing links
from the internet (or use the following macro to do so)

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial _
DataType:=wdPasteText, _
Placement:=wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub

or having pasted the active links run the following macro to unlink

Sub UnlinkHyperlinks()
Dim oField As Field
For Each oField In ActiveDocument.Fields
If oField.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then
oField.Unlink
End If
Next
Set oField = Nothing
End Sub
