Removing links (Word 2003)

Topic

New Reply

I have a document with about 100 words linked to the internet. I started off going to each word, right clicking on it, and selecting “remove link.” Is there an easier way to do this? Is it possible to remove all links in the document all at once?

Thank you,

JMT

Select the entire document by pressing Ctrl+A.
You can unlink *all* fields (not just hyperlinks) in the selection by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9.

Or you could run a short Macro like this one.

Sub RemoveHyperlinks()
Dim i As Integer
For i = ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Count To 1 Step -1
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub

Well, macros are a little over my head, but Hans’ suggestion worked. Thank you.
