Undo Autoformt Features

Later Microsoft Word versions have auto-formatting features. But, we don't always want our Web addresses hyperlinked; we do not always want our spelling corrected.

Select from the menu, Tools > AutoCorrect options from the drop-down list to toggle these features, You will be able to tweak Word's settings to your liking from the dialog that pops up. However, if you'd rather keep the automatic features turned on, you can easily undo an auto-format immediately after it has been applied.

For example when typing and Word creates an automatic hyperlink, just hit backspace as soon as Word makes the automatic change. It will revert back to your original string. You can also use the undo feature (CTRL+Z).
