Many a times after copying content from webpages to Microsoft Word i end up having a lot of hyperlinks. To remove the hyperlinks, manually right clicking each link and removing the link is tedious, hence i looked for a workaround to disable all links on a word document and i found this code that would help in removing all hyperlinks.

How To:

After creating the entire document go to the Visual Basic Editor in MS Word.
- Alt + F11 (opens VB Editor)

In the editor create a Macro.
- Insert- > Module

Copy the following Code.

    Sub RemoveHyperlinks() 
        Dim varField As Field 
           For Each varField In ActiveDocument.Fields 
            If varField.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then 
                 varField.Unlink 
                End If 
            Next 
        Set varField = Nothing 
    End Sub

Return to MS Word
- File -> Close

This will add a Macro “RemoveAllHyperlinks”. Run the Macro to remove all the hyperlinks in the current word document
- Tools -> Macro -> Run “RemoveAllHyperlinks”
