Removal of all hyperlinks

[Hearaoi]

Greetings,
I frequently receive Word documents that are massively hyperlinked. I can
renove them one by one at great effort. Is there a method of delinking all
at once. Think of the clarity and the saving of blue ink.
Thanks,
Hearaoi

You could try to select the whole document and press Ctrl+Shift+F9. That
will remove the hyperlinks completely and leave your with text only.
If you only want to remove the underline and colour attributes but keep the
link, consider changing the Hyperlink and Followed Hyperlink styles in the
styles task pane.

But note that Ctrl+Shift+F9 will unlink any fields in the document,
such as the table of contents. To get rid of hyperlinks, and no other
fields, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DeleteHyperlinks.htm.

Luc & Stefan,
Thanks. You've saved me a lot of tedious work!
Ctrl-Shift-F9 will do the trick for me, but, Stefan, I've saved the MVP
article on macros so I'll have it if the need arises.
