For more information about how to use the sample code in this article, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 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
