How to Fix the Biggest PC Annoyances

Computing hassles driving you bonkers? We feel your pain. And we have solutions--for hardware, software, and the Web.

By Steve Bass, PCW Print   

Hyperlinks From Hell

The Annoyance: When I'm writing in Word or WordPerfect and I type a URL or e-mail address, the program automatically creates a hyperlink. I know many people like this feature, but I wish the default was not to create a hyperlink.

The Fix: In Word, click Format, AutoFormat and choose the Options button. Under Replace, uncheck Internet and network paths with hyperlinks. Click OK and then Cancel (unless you would like to autoformat the document). In WordPerfect, click Tools, QuickCorrect, select the SpeedLinks tab, and then uncheck Format words as hyperlinks when you type them.
