You mean it automatically created a hyperlink?

I ended up making images of my TM in Inkscape and GIMP and inserting those, but it seems to me that a more general solution would be appropriate.

Why not just use the facilities available?

People are GOING to make 'words' with special characters, as I did. This will become more common!

I'm not sure that is true - or why it is relevant: you need a solution even for your single occurrence.

There are various techniques that solve your problem:

o If you do not want URLs to be recognised and converted to hyperlinks, go to Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoCorrect Options | Options and removed the ticks from the URL Recognition option.

o If you want to remove a hyperlink after it has been created, just right-click in the hyperlink text and select Remove Hyperlink from the context menu.

o Most simply of all, as you are typing and immediately the hyperlink is created, use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z). This will undo the automatic correction but retain the typed text.

I trust this helps.

I will try those, thank you, Brian! Appreciate the rapid response! That is rare if the FOSS world!
