Cell format changes when I add/update hyperlink in cell

I maintain a membership roster using Excel 2007. The roster includes a column for each member's email address, and I've formatted this column so the content appears in plain text. However, every time I add or update an email address, that cell's formatting automatically inserts a hyperlink with a tiny blue underlined font, forcing me to remove the hyperlink and change the font to the one set for the rest of the worksheet (we don't want hyperlinks in our roster).

I've tried everything I can think to format this column so the format of these cells never changes when I add/update an email address.

There's probably a simple way but I cannot find it. How can I do this?

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
