Hi, I import a lot of text from websites into documents, and when I reformat
the text, I would like an easy way to format hyperlinks to look like the
standard text.
I thought that either (automatically) removing the hyperlinks could work, or
formatting them by template.
To do latter, I have created a document template and reformatted the
hyperlink enty in the "Styles and Formatting" box. But the effect is simply
that the format of newly pasted hyperlinks does not at all anymore show in
the "Styles and Formatting" box.
Any ideas?
Better still, is there a way to automatically reformat a pasted document
into my own standard?


To make the hyperlinks look like regular text, modify the Hyperlink
style in the document's template to match the formatting of the Normal
style. You may also have to select the pasted text and press
Ctrl+spacebar to remove any manual formatting and let the style
formatting take effect.

To change hyperlinks into plain (non-hyperlinked) text, you have to
"unlink" the hyperlink fields. See the post at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...bf763bab8a5bf5
for two ways to do that.

Reformatting pasted text is a complicated subject. See

discussion.
