Sharepoint insists it knows the link to my UNC and won't let me remove hyperlink formatting
- by ray023
We have a file share at work (one I do not have the power to rename) and it contains a space in it:
\\WorkFileShare\Visual Studio\SP1
I'm creating a Wiki Entry that informs users they can locate the VS2010 SP1 download on this Share.
For some reason, SharePoint will highlight and hyperlink the UNC up to the space. (I've been dealing with this behavior for years in Outlook and I fix by putting focus on the character before the space and then hitting backspace to remove the formatting).
Simple enough and SharePoint also removes the formatting when you backspace on the character before the space.
However, as soon as I move away from the link, SharePoint goes right back to highlighting and hyperlinking what it thinks is the UNC.
Naughty Sharepoint!!
So does anyone have any idea how to clear the formatting?
NOTE: Highlighting the text and clicking on the "Clear Format" icon does not work.
