Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 - Turning Web Addresses into Hyperlinks

By default, when you enter a hyperlink into a Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 presentation the program automatically turns the address into a hyperlink. Many people appreciate this feature, especially if they email presentations to others. If someone wants to visit a site mentioned in the presentation, they merely have to click a link instead of retyping a web address into their browser.

However, the automatic hyperlinking of an address also turns the text color to blue and places an underline under the address. For visual reasons, if you are presenting a slideshow to a group you may not want web addresses to stick out so much. This feature can be disabled as follows:

1. Click the "Office" button.

2. Click "PowerPoint Options".

3. The "PowerPoint Options" dialog box appears. Select "Proofing"
    in the left pane.

4. In the right pane, click "AutoCorrect Options".

5. A language-specific AutoCorrect dialog box appears. Click the
    "AutoFormat As You Type" tab.

6. Underneath "Replace as you type", uncheck "Internet and
    network paths with hyperlinks".
