How do I remove the phone character auto-formatted into numbers? (Google docs is interpreting numbers as phone numbers when they are not

Question

I am trying to enter registration numbers into Google Docs. When I enter a number, a phone character is automatically added and formatting added to the numbers. I would like to just see plain text.

I enter: "#480704200(+)0" and it formats as "#4807042000" with blue text and underlining.

I need plain text. No phone icon. No formatting.

Answer 1

Immediately after it changes to the phone formatting, either press the backspace key or ctrl + z.
