Removing all hyperlinks from a word doc.

You can remove all of the links with just two keystrokes: Ctrl-A to select the entire document and Ctrl-Shift-F9 to convert all the links into text. This technique works with other fields as well, turning a field into text using the field result. For example, if you’ve inserted a date field to show the current date, selecting the field and pressing Ctrl-Shift-F9 will turn it into text so the date won’t change from one day to the next.

If you have other fields in your document along with the hyperlinks and you don’t want to convert those fields to text, you can select a portion of the document, being careful not to include the fields you don’t want to convert, and then press Ctrl-Shift-F9, repeating as many times as necessary for the entire file. This isn’t as easy as giving the command for the entire document at once, but it is still faster than removing each link individually. By the way, a somewhat quicker way to remove a single link than the Ctrl-K method is to right-click on the link and choose Remove Hyperlink from the context menu.
