From time-to-time you may wish to remove the hyperlinks from your Word documents. Those blue underlines are helpful on your computer, but you may not want them showing up on your printouts. Here is a method for removing all hyperlinks from a Word document in no time flat:
- Select the entire document by holding CTRL and pressing A.
- While holding down CTRL and Shift, press F9.
Your document is now hyperlink-free. More speedy key combos can be learned from “Keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Word“.

Doesn’t remove the hyperlinks from footnotes. Guess I’ll have to run a script.

Worked fine until I installed Word 2007 the other day. Now, it does nothing at all. Take that back, it will still remove hyperlinks in old documents that I created under Word 2000.
