I want to remove all the text that is hyperlinked in my document, not just the hyperlinks, but the text that is hyperlinked. Can I do this?



thanks

You can do that via Find/Replace. First, press Alt-F9 to switch Word's field code display 'on'. Then use Find/Replace with:
Find = ^d HYPERLINK
Replace = nothing
Finally, press Alt-F9 again to switch Word's field code display 'off'.

it works! One other thing is that all the hyperlinks are in parenthesis. Is there a way to also remove all the parenthesis in the document that enclose the hyperlinks?

thanks macropod

You could do that in two steps using Find/Replace: first delete the hyperlinks; then delete the empty parentheses.

ok, I was thinking it might be able to be done in one step, but I don't mind two. Do you know if there is a way to delete only the hyperlinks that are in parenthesis and no others?

For that, you could still do two F/R operations:
Find = (^d HYPERLINK
Replace = (
Find = ()
Replace = nothing
