Hi Ulf, There is a very simply way of doing what you want without changing the globabl options all the time. The simplest way is that whenever OOo applies an auto-format (eg. hyperlink, capital letter etc), simply hit the undo (Ctrl-z) option. This will turn of the auto-format. So for your example above - type "www." and then it capitalises - hit Ctrl-z and it reverts to lowercase. Keep typing the url and hit space, hyperlink then appears, Ctrl-z and it reverts to normal text.
