You mean it automatically created a hyperlink?

Why not just use the facilities available?

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.
