The solution I found, after a while, was to choose "Clear formatting"

Our editor has a Link menu with a Remove Link entry. It shouldn't be
that hard for the user to find it.
OK, the user doesn't know if the caret is inside the link after he
presses Enter, but that's because the Remove Link feature was moved from
the tool bar, where it was enabled or disabled depending on the context.
Open Office Writer does the same, and not for technical reasons, I
guess. Are their users complaining?
Hi Marius & Guillaume,
Open Office users are actually complaining:
e.g. 1:
"When I paste a URL into a Writer document, it turns it into a link --
blue, underlined, control + click to open URL.
After I paste a URL, how do I type text after it, and not make the new
text I type also be part of the link? [...]
I can't figure out how to "turn off" the hyperlink and return to typing
normal text."

e.g. 2:
"The bigger problem is that an entire section of text on the page seems to
be hyperlinked for some reason. It's just ordinary text. But everything I
type in this one area on the document turns into a link."

These are just a couple of examples I found right away, but I am sure there
are other people confused about this issue.
Point taken. Can you or Guillaume open a JIRA issue?
* Enter at the start/end of a link moves the caret before/after the link
and then creates a new paragraph.
* Enter in the middle of a link breaks the link in two.
* The rest of the in-line styles (including bold, italic etc.) are
preserved on the new paragraph
* Shift+Enter acts as it does now: simply inserts a line break
This is the observed behavior of MS Word 2007.
Thanks,
Marius
