Author Topic: Odd Microsoft word formatting question (Removing hyperlinks)  (Read 594 times)

So, I deal with a lot of hyperlinks (internal and external) and for a variety of reasons, the hyperlinks themselves have to be redacted, but not the words. Basically it's a very old and persnickety judge I'm dealing with....

That is, there are imbedded hyperlinks in word documents, and I want to remove the hyperlinks but keep the text. I know about the "highlight, and Control + F9 thing. The issue with that, is it doesn't show the text, but only the embedded webaddress or link. I need only the text....

I know how to do this in Word 2010, but unfortunately I'm working off Word 2007.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly you can remove hyperlinks by having your cursor at the end of the text and hitting backspace. I use 2007, so if that doesn't work I have no idea what will.
