Word Tip of the Day
Easily deactivate a hyperlink (97/2000/2001/2002)
You can replace dynamic field results with static text by unlinking a field's results from the field code that generated them. All you need to do is place the insertion point within the field and then press either of two simple shortcut keys. But did you know you can use the same shortcut keys to deactivate, i.e., "unlink," your documents' hyperlinks? First, place the insertion point anywhere within the hyperlinked text you want to "unlink." (Be careful not to launch the hyperlink.) Or, to simultaneously strip all the hyperlinks and field codes in your document, press [Ctrl]A to select the entire document ([command]A in Word 2001). Next, unlink the selection by pressing [Ctrl][Shift][F9] or [Ctrl]6 ([command][shift][F9] or [command]6 in Word 2001). Word removes the hyperlink without disturbing its original display text. Keep in mind that if your hyperlink's display text is different from its URL, the URL that's stored behind the scenes is stripped along with the hyperlink. Only the display text remains when you remove the hyperlink.
