Removing unwanted Hyperlinks

by jpglasgow1 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I frequently copy software hints and tips from various web sites including TechRepublic, which I use/refer to later.

An example is the “50 essential Excel tips” posted on this site. Which directed me to a site from which I am unalbe to download a .doc or PDF, or Adobe file with the tips in them. When faced with this I simply use the ‘ole’ cut and paste, putting the content into a new Word document. So far so good, however when the text contains many Headings or words with hyperlinks I usually want to remove these to avoid unwanted trips back onto the web later.

To remove the hyperlinks I simply:

Highlight the text.
Right click and select ‘remove hyperlink’
Which works fine if you only need to remove one or two, but if there are 40+ it becomes a bit of a pain in the a**

Does anyone know a quick and easy way of removing multiple hyperlinks, without having to do it one by one?

Would really appreciate any suggestions you might come up with……

Regards
