How to Remove Links in Microsoft Word

Browsing is an interesting activity. Sometimes, when we find a good article, we will copy the text and paste it to Ms-Word document. The problem is, if the article contains some links, the links will also be copied.

If you don't like or don't need those links, you can remove them. Please follow these steps:

  • Highlight the whole text with your mouse. (Or, you can also press CTRL+A.)
  • Press the combination of CTRL+SHIFT+F9. (Remember! You must press these three keys simultaneously.)

Now you can see that all the links in your Ms-Word document has been removed.
