Removing a Link

You can remove a link from a Word document that was placed there by using the PolicyTech Tools Add-In.

Remove a Link and Leave the Text

To remove a field property link or web address link and leave the text, right-click anywhere within the link, and then click Remove Link.

Remove a Link and the Text

To entirely remove the field property or link—remove both the link and the link text—do any of one of the following:

  • Select the entire link, and then press Delete or Backspace.
  • Place the cursor immediately before the first letter in the link text, press Delete to select the entire field, and then press Delete again to delete the field.
  • Place the cursor immediately after the last letter in the link text, press Backspace to select the entire field, and then press Backspace again to delete the field.

    Note: If you place the cursor anywhere inside the field instead of before or after it, pressing Delete or Backspace will delete a character in the field or link text instead of selecting it.
