text pasted out of clipboard rendering as LINKS!

[Melanie Avids]

For the past week or so (nothing has changed!), text that I paste into
a document is formatted as a LINK - different font, blue line, mouse
over text.

This is insanely annoying. I have no idea why it started behaving like
this, but I need it to stop.

Any ideas?

Is it all text or are these things that might reasonably be interpreted as IP addresses or domain names? Do you have an example?

No - it's just text - like any/all text. But it's inconsistent too,
and I can't figure out what the rule it. Includes text copied out of
PDFs and word docs - definitely not urls or anything looking like
URLS.

So does it just look like a link, or is it actually a link? If it’s a link, what address is it pointing to? A valid address, or some weird version of the text itself?

Does this happen when pasting into any application? Or only certain ones?

Hi -

An example of this problem just happened:

I copied a bunch of things in one word document that I needed to paste
into another word document. The original document was made up of text
(not links!) I had typed myself - a bunch of names. I copied the text,
moved to the new document, and pasted off clipboard. In the new
document, they render as links - blue font, underlined ... the links
point to the other (original) document, so if I click them, that
document opens/is pulled into focus.

So it's a valid link ... but I really want this to stop happening.

[Sorry for the delay - I needed it to happen again before I could give
an example!]

Thanks -

Don't ask me why but GG decided to delete half my message. Here it is again:

This is a feature of QS.

For a method of pasting the copied items at text, then see half way down page 97 of Howard's manual
