Default Stop automatically creating hyperlinks

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to stop the automatic creation of
hyperlinks in Excel 2007?

I have a user who keeps track of a contact list, which includes email
addresses. When a new email address is added, we would like the text to *not*
automatically be turned into a hyperlink, and to maintain the formatting
applied to the column. As is, the address is typed, it is automatically
turned into a blue hyperlink - we remove the link, and then have to reformat
the cell to match the cells above it. We right click the cell and remove the
hyperlink, and then just copy the formatting only from the cell above, but
those are two steps we'd like to eliminate, if possible.

I looked at Excel Options, but nothing jumped out at me. Thanks for any
suggestions!
