Any way to remove ALL hyperlinks from a Word document?

[RSDonovan]

As title, I want to leave the text as-is but just clear all the hyperlinks so they don't print out blue underlined!

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

Press Ctrl and A together to highlight everything.

Then press, Ctrl, Shift and F9 together to convert from HTML to text.

Blimey Chris, you're a real mine of information! How did you find this out? I went to Word Help, then Word Help Online, then Google! What did I forget to look at this time as I often copy parts of a web page to word then have to remove all the hyperlinks and I'll *never* remeber what you advised! Is it somewhere arcance in the Word help files?

Cheers, Richard

Thanks for your reply.

Only a short while ago you wrote "I always assume if Google doesn't know it then nothing will! "

There's another way. A little program called 'Pure Text' can remove all the formatting from any piece of text that is in the clipboard.

Many thanks for that little program, Birdie. I copy quite a few web pages for the information and now that they are covered with a multitude of links to facebook, twitter, etc., it takes forever to copy from the clipboard to a text program because of the complicated formatting.
Puretext works a treat.
Cheers.

^^^ You're very welcome. I found it from a website called “Gizmos Freeware Reviews”. I cannot recommend this website highly enough. It's quite superb.

left-click and "Remove Hyperlink" to do it one at a time

sorry, I meant right-click

^^^ That's why “Pure Text” is so handy – you don't have to do each one individually. It simply wipes the formatting from all the text in the clipboard.
