Do you create worksheets by pasting information that was copied from the Internet? This is not unusual for some people, as there is quite a bit of public-domain information that can be copied from the Internet. When you paste your information into a worksheet, you may notice that there are quite a few hyperlinks. What if you want to get rid of those hyperlinks? Similarly, you might inherit a worksheet from someone, and it contains a lot of hyperlinks you want deleted.
The easiest approach is to run a macro that deletes all the hyperlinks. The following macro quickly removes all hyperlinks in a worksheet, without affecting anything else it may contain:
Sub KillLinks() Do Until ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Count = 0 ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks(1).Delete Loop End Sub
