# Turning off Automatic URL Recognition

When you enter text, LibreOffice automatically recognizes a word that may be a URL and replaces the word with a hyperlink. LibreOffice formats the hyperlink with direct font attributes (color and underline) the properties of which are obtained from certain Character Styles.

The following texts are changed to hyperlinks:

Text | Autocorrected hyperlink
--- | ---
Email addresses | x@x, mailto:x
Web addresses | http://x, https://x, www.x.x
File addresses | file://x, ftp://x, smb://x

where x is one or more characters.

If you do not want LibreOffice to automatically recognize URLs as you are typing, there are several ways of turning off this feature.

## Undo URL Recognition

1. When you are typing and notice that a text has just been automatically converted into a hyperlink, press Command Ctrl+Z to undo this formatting.

2. If you do not notice this conversion until later, select the hyperlink and choose the menu command \<emph\>Format - Default Formatting\</emph\>.

## Turn off URL Recognition

1. Load a document of the type for which you want to modify the URL recognition.

   If you want to modify the URL recognition for text documents, open a text document.

2. Choose \<emph\>Tools - AutoCorrect\</emph\>.

3. In the \<emph\>AutoCorrect\</emph\> dialog, select the \<emph\>Options\</emph\> tab.

4. If you unmark \<emph\>URL Recognition\</emph\>, words will no longer be automatically replaced with hyperlinks.

   In LibreOffice Writer there are two check boxes in front of \<emph\>URL Recognition\</emph\>. The box in the first column is for later post-editing and the box in the second column is for AutoCorrect as you type.
