How do i unlink all of the fields in an MS-Word 2007 document?
I used to be able to do this in MS-Word 2003 by doing a "select all" and
pressing ctrl+shift+F9, but that doesn't seem to work any more. At least it doesn't seem to get rid of hyperlinks to button pictures. Am I doing something wrong, or was this feature disabled in MS-Word 2007? Thanks |

Ctrl+Shift+F9 still unlinks fields in Word 2007
Are you sure that you haven't got a keyboard with alternate switching for the F keys? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org byafuso wrote: I used to be able to do this in MS-Word 2003 by doing a "select all" and pressing ctrl+shift+F9, but that doesn't seem to work any more.

Can "hyperlinks to button pictures" (whatever they are) be considered
"fields"?

Peter,
Hyperlinks are fields. Select and toggle field codes to see for yourself. Peter T. Daniels wrote: Can "hyperlinks to button pictures" (whatever they are) be considered "fields"?

I also am curious about "hyperlinks to button pictures." The first thing I
thought of was a MacroButton field with a picture as the prompt, but that's not a hyperlink (though you can nest a hyperlink within the MacroButton field as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInForms.htm). Or perhaps the reference is to picture bullets? Or a button picture used as the display text of a hyperlink? I guess that's the most likely. Unlinking the field would leave the button displayed, but the hyperlink would no longer work. I'd be interested to see some clarification on this, though. -- Suzanne S.

How do i unlink all of the fields in an MS-Word 2007 document?
Hi byafuso,
Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-Shift-F9 will only unlink fields in-line with text in the body of the document. It won't affect fields in headers, footers, or floating shape objects (eg a hyperlink attached to an image formatted as 'square'). Here's a macro to do the job for you: Sub UnlinkAll() Dim oRng As Range, hLink As Hyperlink Application.ScreenUpdating = False With ActiveDocument ' Loop through Story Ranges and update. ' Note that this may trigger interactive fields (eg ASK and FILLIN). For Each oRng In .StoryRanges Do oRng.Fields.Unlink For Each hLink In oRng.Hyperlinks hLink.Delete Next Set oRng = oRng.NextStoryRange Loop Until oRng Is Nothing Next End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "byafuso" wrote in message ...
