Hello dear colleagues,

I'd like to know how to remove hyperlinks. They are inserted in my text many many times and it's kind of boring to do it "manually", so i wonder if there's a way to select all the document or, at least by paragraphs, and then remove them once and for all

Thank you very much.

Save as plain text? Feb 5, 2013

Saving as plain text might do the trick. It might not be what you want though, because it will remove all the other formatting as well...

I usually use plain text tip, as given by Sam. I generally select a paragraph rather than selecting the entire document.

Thank you and thank you! Feb 5, 2013

To Yaotl for bringing it up - it's been bugging me too for some time but I hadn't got round to doing anything about it.
And to Apurva for helping me fix it speedily.

Now what worries me is why it started happening. I'd certainly never been into those options before...
