[Susan W]

How can I turn off the auto formatting of email addresses in word? ie I don't
want a link to be created (with blue line underneath)

Susan,

Try this:

1. Tools > AutoCorrect Options
2. Click on the "AutoFormat As You Type tab"
3. Click on the checkbox next to "Internet and network paths with
hyperlinks" (this should remove the checkmark)

Now any e-mail addresses and URLs that you type won't be converted to
hyperlinks, so they won't turn blue and become underlined.
