How to delete all hyperlinks in Word document with shortcut key

If you copy contant from web and paste them into Microsoft Word file, you may found that there are a lot of hyperlinks, which you may want to delete them.

So, how to you delete those unused hyperlinks? Simply right-click them one by one and choose “Remove hyperlink“? This method is very time consuming especially if you have a very long article that has a lot of hyperlinks.

The second method you may try to paste the content into a notepad first, then copy content from notepad, and paste again into a new Word file. This method will also remove the heading and style of your content, it is because when you paste something to notepad, notepad will only read plain text from it.

So, how to solve this problem wisely? The best method is to paste your content into a new word file, press “Ctrl + A” to select all, and then use the shortcut key “Ctrl + Shift + F9” to remove all hyperlinks.

Simple, huh?

    Thanks for this tip. I have been messing around with hyperlinks in word docs for ages. This saves so much time. Thing is – where does one find out these arcane bits of info about Word? The books you get only seem to have learners’ level stuff.

    This link is fully working in old versions of word (before 2007). But when I upgraded to office 2007, this shortcut doesn’t work fully. It removes the hyper-links from ‘texts’ but not from images. I am searching for an option to remove all hyper-links in 2007 as it was so easy in office-xp. Now what i do is, using office-xp to do this removal (by Ctrl + Shift + F9), then copying to outlook-2007 to send the mail.

    I was hopeful with this article, to no avail. The CTRL+SHIFT+F9 didn’t work (I got that from other sources) and the Copy to WordPad and back didn’t work either.
