However, if you turn on the option to Retain Local Formatting (usually a good idea to retain specific bold and italic formatting), no code is retained but the links will still appear in that lovely RGB blue color and underlined. Not a big deal, it’s just a local override. In your Character Styles palette, delete the one called Hyperlink (it came with the Word file) and at the prompt, replace it with and turn off the Preserve Formatting checkbox.You will see both the boxes and the blue/underlined formatting if you place the Word file with formatting intact.Įven in this case, it’s fairly simple to clean them up: Hold down the Option/Alt key when you apply your Paragraph Style to get rid of it. Go to Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks and shift-click all of the entries that appear in the palette.That clears out the blue color and underlines from the affected text. (If you actually have some hyperlinks you created in InDesign that you want to keep, select only the ones that came with Word - they’re called Hyperlink, Hyperlink 2, Hyperlink 3, and so on.) Then click the trashcan icon at the bottom of the palette to delete the Word hyperlinks. The gray boxes disappear, but the text remains. Select all the entries for the imported Word hyperlinks in the Hyperlinks palette, then choose Hyperlink Options from the palette menu and change their Appearance to Invisible Rectangle.EXCELLENT! This method wiped out all hyperlinks in a table which had been selected and copied on a Web page and then pasted into a Word 2007 document by use of the “Paste” command on the Home Ribbon.Edit the Hyperlink Character Style to your taste, or delete it all together as explained above.Of course, if you want to keep the links (for your PDF) but don’t want the gray boxes or blue text, you could change their appearance. The table contained many hyperlinks and removing each of them individually by using Word 2007’s context menu would have been a gigantic annoyance. This method removed all of the many links in all cells of the entire table “in one fell swoop” and it did NOT remove any of the desired table formatting! THANKS! (I paste enormous amounts of text from Web pages to my local word processing files.
