How to Remove the Hyperlink for a Long Paragraph Copied to MS Word

Remove one hyperlink from a document or all hyperlinks with just a couple of steps.

Hyperlinks in Microsoft Word documents allow the user to open Web pages or other documents, or take the users to relevant sections of the same document, by just clicking on a word or term. Hyperlinks are transferred to the document when copying and pasting text with hyperlinks from other locations. Sometimes, when you are copying in a large area of text, you may not want the hyperlink to show in your Word document. You can remove individual hyperlinks from the long paragraphs at once or remove the one hyperlink if the entire paragraph works as a hyperlink.

Instructions

Remove All Hyperlinks Simultaneously

1. Open the document with hyperlinks in Microsoft Word, if it isn't already open.

2. Select all the text in the paragraph by highlighting the paragraph with your mouse.

3. Press the "Ctrl," "Shift" and "F10" keys simultaneously to remove all of the hyperlinks.

Remove One Hyperlink

1. Select the paragraph that was copied over. This method is used when the entire paragraph works as one long hyperlink.

2. Right click anywhere in the selected paragraph.

3. Click on "Remove Hyperlink." Click somewhere outside of the selected paragraph to deselect it. Notice that the hyperlink is gone.
