The auto-hyperlink feature can be disabled in Word, perhaps yours is.

To change the hyperlink feature permanently:

  1. View the options. (File tab, select Options).
  2. In the left column, select Proofing.
  3. Click the AutoCorrect Options... button.
  4. Select the AutoFormat tab.
  5. Clear or select the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.
  6. Select the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
  7. Clear or select the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Click OK.

  • The Word file in question is stored on a network drive. The answer works locally, but not where it's stored on the network. Are network folder permissions known to affect file characteristics? It's a Windows network.

  • Weird, that setting affects Word in general, and shouldn't have anything to do with what document you're opening, or where you're opening it from. If you copy the same file locally, then it works as expected? May 14, 2014 at 20:25
