In Excel 2003 you can do this by going to Tools-Auto-Correct
Options-Select the second tab, and the top checkbox turns that feature off.
Thanks for making me look for that, I hate it too!

How can I stop Outlook loading/starting when entering emails into a cell?
I
am making a list in a column. Really would desire not to have the address
to
hyperlink at all as I type. I would accept any solution less removing
Outlook.
