A word doc with a hyperlink in it. How do you tell word you're done with making/editing links?
Be it me adding a link by copy/paste the URL into the document, and Word nicely makes it into a link for me. Or me going back to edit a link later.
Once the cursor is at the end of the link that's made, if i press enter to start a new paragraph, or i press shift +enter to start a new line after the link in the same paragraph.
Word keeps making the next line more of the same link from the previous line, no matter how many times i press enter. i could press enter till i get to the 7th page with 6 blanks ones between me and the end of the link and the moment i start typing it's still apart of that link.
I do not want to turn off automatic link making, i just want to know how to tell word, Ok i'm all done with that link, thank you for your help in making it, we can go back to just writing more plain text now please.

Once you are at the end of the link before you start typing the text you may click on Normal style which is in the Styles ribbon which would allow you to type the text normally without creating it as hyperlink.
I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Thank you.
