Deleting a Hyperlink in Word 2013
The steps in this article will show you how to remove a single hyperlink in Microsoft Word 2013. Once you have completed this action, the clickable link will be gone, but the text that contained the link (also called anchor text) will remain.
You can remove multiple hyperlinks from a selection in a document by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F9 on your keyboard.
