Keep cross-reference but remove hyperlink

[Guest]

I want to remove only the hyperlink from the cross-reference, i.e. keep the
cross-reference active, without having to go into the dialogue box and
deselect 'hyperlink'. Is there a way to do this efficiently? Earlier thread
about Crt+Shift+F9 removes hyperlink but also removes cross-reference.

If you want to change the appearance of your hyperlinks, just modify
the Hyperlink and FollowedHyperlink character styles.

If you are saying that you want to prevent the cross-reference (REF)
field from being a hyperlink, do the following: Press Alt+F9 to
display field codes. For each REF field, delete the \h switch. Press
Alt+F9 again, and then select the document and update fields.

I do not want to change the appearance, I want to remove the activation of
the hyperlink function without removing the cross-reference function.

I realized that, after awhile. Did you see my other post?

Thank you. I also learned from trying this that Find & Replace works on field
code contents when field codes are displayed, which makes it easy to delete
many instances of the \h switch without writing a macro.

 

[Stefan Blom]

Yes, Find and Replace is very useful. But note that if you have other
fields in the document, they might include the \h switch too. In
particular, the table of contents field uses it (by default).
Therefore, you may want to be a little careful so that you don't
delete the switch where you actually want it.
