Click OK the Macro Recorder is now running.
Make a note of the Store macro in option, as we will need to know where to find the recorded code later. You’ll also see these menu options when pressing the down arrow on the Paste icon itself. Firstly, lets create the macro to open a new word document. Uncheck Internet and network paths with hyperlinks under Replace as you type. On the right side, look for the AutoCorrect Options section and click the AutoCorrect Options button. Navigate to the AutoFormat As You Type tab. In the Word Options window that appears, on the left side, switch to the Proofing category. On the sidebar that opens, click the Options command. You can do this by using the Paste menu that shows up in the bottom right corner of your pasted content (or press CTRL directly after pasting) and choosing Values (the Clipboard icon with 123 on it). To turn off automatic hyperlinking, switch over to the File menu. You can directly get rid of these Hyperlinks by choosing to paste Values only. When you are copying data from a source that contains Hyperlinks, these Hyperlinks are maintained as well. In many cases, this means that the previous link (now just text) will remain blue and underlined and thus gives the impression that it is still clickable. Note: When you choose Clear Hyperlinks, the hyperlinks are removed but the Formatting is maintained. With the Clear command in Excel, you can quickly remove Hyperlinks. Press the Clear button in the Editing section on the Ribbon and choose: Remove Hyperlinks.Right click on anywhere within the selection and choose: Remove Hyperlinks.Now there are 2 options going forward to remove the links.Select all the cells, rows or columns (or simply the entire sheet with CTRL+A) that contains hyperlinks that you want to remove.The trick here is so easy, you might wonder how you could have ever overlooked it once you know it.
Unfortunately, there is no option to globally disable hyperlinks in Excel or to have it function like in Word that you need to hold CTRL to follow a hyperlink.Īs discussed previously, there are a couple of alternative clicking and selection methods available to make it less likely that you activate a hyperlink but removing them all at once is luckily a possibility too. Click the Look in: dropdown and select Formulas. In the dialogue, enter the old link in Find what: box & new link in the Replace with: box. Open the Find & Replace dialogue by pressing Ctrl+H. Is there any way to bulk remove or disable these clickable email addresses and turn them into regular text instead? When using the HYPERLINK Function, multiple hyperlinks can be edited at the same time.
The second time the hyperlinks were all gray and would no longer work, and she's at a loss as to why this occurred. Those hyperlinks worked fine until Fanie saved and reopened the workbook. In the first worksheet she created hyperlinks to the second worksheet.
In my current case, I’ve received an Excel sheet full of email addresses that are clickable mailto links which is highly annoying as sooner or later I’ll accidentally click on one. Fanie has a workbook with two worksheets.
In a previous tip you explained how to prevent email address in Excel turning into clickable mailto hyperlinks which is close to an issue I’m currently facing.
