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.

In the case of Excel (as in Word), save it as a comma or tab separated text file. There will be a warning that some features will be lost and it can only save the current sheet. Click ok. Then you'll have a text file you can munge to your hearts content.
