Hyperlinks in Word 07

Is there a way to globally remove ALL hyperlinks in Word 07?
I have a several hyperlinks in a large document; I can remove one at a time,
however this will take hours. Would like to globally remove all of them.

If the only fields in that document are hyperlink fields, and if you want to
preserve the displayed text but not the hyperlink itself, the following will
work. Press Ctrl+A (select all). Press Ctrl+Shift+F9. This "unlinks" fields,
replacing them with regular text.

If you want to completely remove all HYPERLINK fields, including the text
currently displayed, you can do it as follows:

1. Press Alt+F9 to display field codes.

2. Press Ctrl+H (find/replace).

3. Set Find what: to ^d hyperlink (you need to include the space between
^d and hyperlink).

Leave Replace with: blank

4. Click Replace all.

5. Press Alt+F9 to toggle field results back on.

If you seek an intermediate solution, then you'd probably need to use a
macro.
