microsoft word - How not to show pasted hyperlinks as a hyperlinks?

When I copy a hyperlink text such as a website address and paste it in MS Word, how can I just paste it as a plain text instead of a hyperlink?

Answer

To avoid the automatic recognition mentioned by @Dave:

1. Hit Space then Left Arrow to get before the space.


2. Hit Ctrl+Alt+V to Paste Special.


3. Select "Unformatted Text" and hit OK to paste.


4. Hit Right Arrow to move after the URL without triggering the automatic detection.

It's faster to do than to describe!
