When you copy and paste text from the Internet into Microsoft Word, you will probably get a document with a lot of hyperlinks. Some of them may be important to you, but most must be removed. If you are editing Word documents on your Mac and you have to delete some hyperlinks, here we explain how to do it.
Delete a single hyperlink
To delete a single hyperlink from a Word document
-
First, select the word to which the hyperlink is attached.
-
Open the Insert tab (or the Insert drop-down menu if you are using an older version of Word).
-
Click the button under Hyperlinks (o elija Vínculos> Hipervínculo si cuenta con una versión anterior de Word).
-
Choose Delete link in the pop-up window that appears.
If you want to perform the same action using keyboard shortcuts, presione COMMAND + 6 while the hyperlinked word is selected.
Delete multiple / all hyperlinks in a Word document
To delete multiple links from your document.
-
Select the part of the text from which you want to delete the links.
-
Perform the same procedure as for deleting a single link (Insertar> Hipervínculo> Borrar hipervínculo o COMMAND + 6).
To delete all hyperlinks in a document.
-
Select all the text in the document (CTRL + A).
-
Follow the same steps to delete a single link (Insertar> Hipervínculo> Borrar hipervínculo o COMMAND + 6).
Note: The procedure of deleting several or all hyperlinks from a Word document DOES NOT remove the links from the images in that particular document. To delete image links, you must use the first method (delete a single hyperlink).
Add a hyperlink to a post
To add a hyperlink to a word or image in your document.
-
Select the word or image to which you want to add a hyperlink.
-
Open the Insert tab (or the Insert drop-down menu if you are using an older version of Word).
-
Click the button under Hyperlinks (o elija Vínculos> Hipervínculo si cuenta con una versión anterior de Word).
-
Enter your hyperlink in the Link to field.
-
Click OK in the lower right corner of the window.
