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
