Converting embedded hyperlinks

[PT]

I frequently copy into word articles containing text containing embedded
hyperlinks. Wikipedia is a good example, where almost every sentence
contains such links.

Is there a simple way in Word 2003 to convert the hyperlinks to text?

Remove a hyperlink but keep the text:
Right-click the hyperlink you want to remove, and then click Remove Hyperlink

If you want to remove many hyperlinks:
1. Copy the text from the web page.
2. Paste the text onto a plain text editor like Notepad.
3. Copy the text from Notepad.
4. Paste the text onto Word.

Note that Ctrl+Shift+F9 will unlink all fields (including hyperlinks) in a
selection.
