Removing or Deleting a Link
To remove a document or web address link and leave the text, right-click anywhere within the link, and then click Remove Link.
To remove the link—to remove both the link and the link text—do 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 link instead of before or after the link, pressing Delete or Backspace will delete a character in the link text instead of selecting the field.
