Hi,

I want to break all links in a Word document automatically.

Instead of the slow way below:

Hi Doris,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can convert all Hyperlink fields in a Word document to static texts by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
// Pass the appropriate parameters to convert all Hyperlink fields encountered in the document (including headers and footers) to static text.
FieldsHelper.ConvertFieldsToStaticText(doc, FieldType.FieldHyperlink);
// Save the document with fields transformed to disk.
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

You can find the implementation of “FieldsHelper.ConvertFieldsToStaticText” method in the following page:

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
