You mean it automatically created a hyperlink?
I ended up making images of my TM in Inkscape and GIMP and inserting
those, but it seems to me that a more general solution would be appropriate.
Why not just use the facilities available?
People are GOING to make 'words' with special characters, as I did.
This will become more common!
I'm not sure that is true - or why it is relevant: you need a
solution even for your single occurrence.
There are various techniques that solve your problem:
o If you do not want URLs to be recognised and converted to
hyperlinks, go to Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoCorrect Options | Options
and removed the ticks from the URL Recognition option.
o If you want to remove a hyperlink after it has been created, just
right-click in the hyperlink text and select Remove Hyperlink from
the context menu.
o Most simply of all, as you are typing and immediately the hyperlink
is created, use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z). This will undo the automatic
correction but retain the typed text.
I trust this helps.
