I have a made up of text that I have pasted in from another application. It has hyperlinks throughout and they are presented in a blue font color. I know that I can remove each hyperlink individually by right clicking and selecting "Remove Link" (or Insert > HyperLinks > Remove Link), but there are two problems to that: (1) the blue color remains, and (2) it takes a long time. How can I get rid of the links and the colored font at once? I see there is a character style called "Hyperlink", but I am relatively new to NWP (using 1.4.2), and am not sure what to do. I would like the hyperlinked text to remain and adopt the character style of the surrounding text (which is probably not the same style throughout the entire document). Thank you!

If you'd like to remove all hyperlinks from your document/text, you'll want to select from the first hyperlink to the last, and then use the menu Insert > Hyperlink > Remove Link to remove them all at once. The trick is that the first hyperlink has to appear somewhere "close" to the start of this large selection, otherwise the removal menu command will be disabled. This is for efficiency reasons, because it can take some time to scan through all the text in your selection, so NWP only looks at the first several chunks when disabling/enabling menus.

As for the coloring that remains, it sounds like your content has both hyperlinks and manual/override coloring applied. You can remove that at once just as easily using the menu Format > Text Color > Remove Text Color Attribute.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, Martin. Worked perfectly!
