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 delete 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.
