Word--how to UN-format hyperlinks?

[jsteph]

Hi,
In Word (97 or 2000) how do I either Un-format hyperlinks, or--a better solution--how do I tell Word what is and what is NOT a hyperlink?

For example, I wanted to change a misspelling in a network path I had typed in a doc, and it would *not* let me put the cursor in the middle--it always wanted to select all of the hyperlink as a single entity. So I went to the menu Format|Style, and changed the hyperlink to not underlined and black text. However, I really want the hyperlinks in the finished doc, so after I was done, I reset the style, and then Word would take *entire paragraphs* and highlight them as hyperlinks! I tried to put spaces and returns after the end of the 'real' hyperlink, but the follwing text remained highlighted.

What is the trick here? Thanks,

If you find a mistake in a hyperlink, you could right-click on it, select the Hyperlink option and choose edit. When the Hyperlink box opens, make your corrections and click OK.

If you do not want the hyperlink to actually be a hyperlink, you can also right click on the hyperlink, go to the hyperlink sub-menu and select remove hyperlink. This will leave "

http://www.yahoo.com"

but without the blue underlining and link capabilities.
