I can't figure out how to "turn off" the hyperlink and return to
typing normal text.
Here are a few techniques:
o When pasting, use Edit | Paste Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V)
instead of normal Paste, and select "Unformatted text". That way,
your URL arrives as plain text and the space (or whatever) that you
type next will both terminate the hyperlink and stimulate Writer to
recognise it - just as if you had typed the URL yourself.
o After pasting the URL normally, next type Ctrl+Shift+Space before
you type the next character. This the same as Format | Default
Formatting, and has the effect of terminating the URL and causing
subsequent text to be treated normally.
o After the event, you can select the subsequent text that should
not be part of the hyperlink and use Format | Default Formatting (or
Ctrl+Shift+Space) to return it to normal text. (If you include the
URL itself in this and cancel the hyperlink, you can get Writer to
recognise it again by typing a space immediately after it and then
deleting the space.)
I trust this helps.
