Several placemark entries in My Places have somehow acquired the blue,
underlined, hyperlink format. How do I restore these to plain black
text please?

I thought that I could do it by simply opening its Properties and
removing anything in the Description box, but this is empty anyway.
I've been fiddling for an hour but still found no solution.

(Posted this originally in the 'How Do I' forum, but on reflection
reckon this forum might be more appropriate.)

I've now isolated the cause, but I don't know how to fix it. A
placemark with the blue hyperlink format arises when using the Search
pane to find a location, then saving it to My Places. It still keeps
its blue hyperlink format whatever I do. Adding it to a folder and
then using Share Style doesn't fix it, as you see here:

Could someone try it please? Just search for a place, then move it to
My Places. Anywhere. Doesn't seem to matter if it's in a folder like
that under discussion, or not. Can you get it back to 'normal' format
by any method?
