If you type in an email-id in a Microsoft Word Document, it will get auto-converted into a mailto link, and when you click on it, it will open up your mail client such as Outlook or Mail on the Mac.
![mailto link as shown on Microsoft 365 Word Document mailto link as shown on Microsoft 365 Word Document](https://code2care.org/howto/remove-mailto-link-microsoft-365-word-email-text/images/mailto link as shown on Microsoft 365 Word Document.jpg)
If you want to remove that link from your word document, simply, right-click on the email address and select, Remove Link.
![Remove link option Microsoft Word Remove link option Microsoft Word](https://code2care.org/howto/remove-mailto-link-microsoft-365-word-email-text/images/Remove link option Microsoft Word.jpg)
Note: If you type an email address and do the remove link, and then start typing again (mostly followed by a spacebar) the link will come up again, so it is better you try something after the email and then remove it, so it does not appear again.
