1. Disable hyperlinks in Microsoft Word 2016
2. Disable hyperlinks in Microsoft Word 2019

Hyperlinks are one of the most practical ways that some applications of the Microsoft office suite do not offer in order to directly access a website, another part of the document or even directly to an email, hyperlinks are characterized for being with a blue underline which appears as soon as we press Enter on some URL entered in the document and then we can access this link by pressing the “Ctrl + click” key in said hyperlink..

By default, in Microsoft Word 2016 and 365 they automatically create hyperlinks based on the web addresses that we enter there, but it is possible to deactivate these hyperlinks if you want to make a cleaner presentation or simply if we do not want access to the registered website. TechnoWikis will explain how to do this process in Word 2016 and Word 2019.
