Just today I have noticed that if I type in an address into the body of an email, then Outlook converts it into a hyperlink to a Bing map. I am sure they think this is a great idea, but I don't want addresses converted into hyperlinks. Does anyone know how I can work around this?
At first I thought it was maybe because I had bolded the address, but I did a test without bolding. Still comes out as a link. Then I tried dropping the zip code off and it still came back as a link. Grrrr. ~z

Actually I am hoping someone knows if I can tweak this in Settings or somewhere. I have been looking. And I am not looking for an different email system. Thanks. ~z

Thanks, Randy. I actually did an online search for the issue, but your question was more succinct and got better results.
Here's one of the suggested solutions.
Quote: They appear when Outlook detects a physical address in this message body (which it does with mixed success). Click on the ‘Bing Maps’ link to open up a web page.
You might not like this link, so how to get rid of it?
Hunting around Outlook File | Options or File | Options | Add-ins won’t do you any good. Where is it hiding?
Bing Maps is an Exchange Server add-in (not an Outlook add-in) so you need to go to your Exchange Server user account to make the change.
Do that from File | Info | Manage Addins or open up Outlook Web Access in your browser and go to Settings | Manage Apps.
Unfortunately, I am lost at Exchange Server. I did find Add-ins in my Hotmail/Outlook account, but the one for turning Bing off wasn't there.
I will hang onto this web page until someone smarter comes along to walk me through this at home. Thanks.

Yes!!!! You did it, Pef. Ding ding ding!!!
That works! Thanks so much. I did try looking for it, but you found it! I just prefer to set my own links in my email. I really appreciate your figuring it out. ~z
