blue email address in Word

It doesn't work because Word automatically makes email addresses and active link.

To remove it, right click on the address and choose to remove the hyperlink. Also, in Word's settings there's a check box to tell Word to never make email addresses or URL's hyperlinks within your documents.

How can I get a black email address when using Word?

Maybe a question for the Microsoft Word Help Community.

But I would select the link then from the Word menu bar select text color and change the color to the color I want.

Thank you. I tried changing the color the usual way with Word, but it doesn't seem to work with an email address.

I'll try Microsoft Help as you suggested.

FWIW, I just tried my suggestion and it worked.

But I like Kurt Lang's suggestion better than mine if you don't want to retain the link functionality.
