Simplest way to remove all hyperlinks in a MS Word document.

When you copy any content from Internet to your MS Word document , you may find that there are a lot of hyperlinks, which you may want to delete.
So how to remove this hyperlinks? Simply right-click them one by one and choose “Remove hyperlink“, but this method is too time consuming and not feasible to remove large number hyperlinks.

 To remove all hyperlinks at once there are two ways:
Direct Way:
      • Press “Ctrl + A” to select all content.
      • Press “Ctrl + Shift + F9



      • Done!

With this method the job is easy but the problem is that Formatting remains the same. So it still gives a hyperlink look to the content. To over come this there is a alternate indirect method.

Indirect Way:
As we know that Word pad does not support hyperlinks.So to remove Hyperlinks:

• First copy the content in Word pad. 

 

Then copy the content from Word pad to MS Word Document.


• All hyperlinks will be removed and the formatting will be uniform through out the document.
•Done!

FINALLY!
I have been trying to find something that would work for weeks. CTL+SHIFT+F9 did not work nor did copy to Word Pad; HOWEVER, I copied to another word doc and then back again to the original doc and PRESTO the hidden hyperlinks were gone. THANK YOU!
