How do I delete all hyperlinks in a Word document

[Allen]

I am working with Word 2000 documents that may be hundreds
of pages long and contain 10 or more hyperlinked words per
page. This means there are thousands of hyperlinks per
document. I want to delete all the hyperlinks but retain
the original words. I know I can right click an
individual hyperlinked word and select 'Hyperlink' then
select 'Remove hyperlink'. But doing this thousands and
thousands of times would be a real drag.

Does anyone know how I can somehow globally remove all the
hyperlinks in a document all at once? MS Word help files
do not seem address this.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Allen,

Run a macro containing the following code over the document

Dim alink As Field
For Each alink In ActiveDocument.Fields
If alink.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then
alink.Unlink
End If
Next alink
