For the URLs, try this..

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.

Under Replace as you type, select or clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.
 
For turning off grammar check:
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab.

To turn on or off automatic grammar checking, select or clear the Check grammar as you type check box.
 
Awesome, Thanks! :cool: :smile:
