Re: [JAWS-Users] links in a document
Brian, for the record, when I remove links via the applications key, the text reverts to the document's default format. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Brian Lee Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 4:07 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] links in a document Hello Patti, The message I sent you earlier about using CTRL with shift and F9 is for changing text as a field set up in a Word document to regular text. If you are pasting links that originated in Excel then you likely just want to use the CTRL Alt V (Paste special command) and choose to paste as unformatted text. However, for links set up in word using the CTRL with shift key and F9 removes a field including a hyperlink field and leaves just the text with the normal style. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] links in a document
Hi Patti, Being that the links were coming from a different program even though the link was removed the text attributes might not have changed. The steps I gave in my first message were for links created in word using the hyperlink field. The CTRL with shift and f9 still might remove the link but the text that is left might not match what you want. You might want to check the text for which you removed the links and see if the attributes changed or if you have to change them. If you use JAWS key F on the text that was a link you can hear the attributes announced. If at this point you need to change the font, font size, color, etc. of the text you removed the hyperlink from, and if you have nearby text you want to match, here is what to do. Select at least one character of the text you want matched and use CTRL with shift and C to copy it. Select the text that you removed the hyperlink from but which retained the attributes applied by the origin program, and use CTRL with shift and V to paste the formatting you copied. Again, if you copy the links from another program you might just want to use paste special and choose unformatted text. However, if the links were created with Word fields then using CTRL with shift and f9 is a quick way to do it. Take care.
