Microsoft Word: How to Turn Off the Phrase "HYPERLINK"

Hello:

Yesterday, here on my laptop where I have Office 2010 64-bit installed, I was experimenting with hyperlinking for bookmarks.

Now, every document that I have saved on my laptop and any new document that I created that has an e-mail address on it or a URL is surrounded by the phrase "HYPERLINK" and squiggly line characters.

So, I cannot easily see the e-mail addresses or URLs of documents that I've had saved for years!

I can fix manually by right-clicking on the phrases and choosing "Remove Hyperlink".

But, that's quite annoying to do one at a time.

I tried the Word Options setting where I turn off the checkbox "Internet and Network Paths...".  But, that did not solve the problem.

Is there any other setting?  I can't believe that playing with hyperlinks on one document has caused this issue for all of my documents!

Thanks!  Much appreciated!
