Instead of using the "For Each...Next" statement to remove the hyperlinks from your document, as in the following example:

Sub RemoveHyperLinks

For Each h In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks h.Delete Next

' Verify how many hyperlinks are left in the document MsgBox ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Count

End Sub use the "Do...Until...Loop" statement to remove the hyperlinks: Sub RemoveHyperLinks

With ActiveDocument Do Until .Hyperlinks.Count = 0 .Hyperlinks(1).Delete Loop

' Verify how many hyperlinks are left in the document MsgBox .Hyperlinks.Count End With

End Sub -or-

Use the "For...Next" statement: Sub RemoveHyperlinks Dim i As Long

With ActiveDocument For i = 1 To .Hyperlinks.Count .Hyperlinks(1).Delete Next i

' verify how many hyperlinks are left in the document MsgBox .Hyperlinks.Count End With

End Sub
