I have an idiot client who can't read, and we're trying to make it easier on them. Anyone know how to turn off the automatic link-ifying of email addresses and URLs in Word? (I'm poking around in Options right now.)
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In a document or in the application? This is what Microsoft says
Microsoft Word can format Web and e-mail addresses as hyperlinks as you type, but you can turn off this feature if you want.
1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
2. Under Replace as you type, select or clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.

Aha! Yeah, never would have found that on my own. ('Cause, underlining links != correcting anything. But whatever, it's off now.)
Thanks.

Has anyone used the services of ColorWare? [link]
I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend the $60 and send them my iPod so they can turn it into a sparkly burgundy iPod, but I thought I'd check if anyone I actually know has worked with them.

Also, Jessica, you can right click on the URL and there should be an option for "remove hyperlink".
I HATE the way Word automatically makes them clickable links; it makes it very difficult to edit references to web pages.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am a shameless consumerist conformist materialist.
I now have a TiVo.
I take comfort in the fact that I will never own as much technology crap as ND.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Steve Wozniac doesn't own as much tech crap as ND.

I need to sell some of my technology. I think my Powerbook G4/400 and my iBook 600 are going to go up for sale.
