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.
