I've downloaded a list of over 500 items which are all hyperlinked. When I converted the list to Word the links remained. The only way I've found to remove the links is to "control click on each one. Is there any way to remove all the links?



I don't know about Word, but it was even worse in Excel 2001. The "Help" instructions say:


        Deactivate a hyperlink
    1. Hold down CONTROL and click the hyperlink you want to
        deactivate, and then click Hyperlink on the contextual menu.
    2. Click Remove Link.

But it never would work for me, since no options appeared under the contextual Hyperlink menu. I believe I had to go through my list and retype each URL, adding an option-space before each. It didn't work just to add option apace before the existing hyperlinks. They had to be retyped. Luckily I didn't have as many as yours, and they were all short.

I hope someone else knows a way that will work in bulk. I hate the way Microsoft thinks it always knows what you want. Incidentally, reinstalling Excel didn't help.
