Hello,

I'm using Excel 2002 and have a spreadsheet in which nearly every cell has
somehow come to contain an unwanted hyperlink to an external file. I can
remove these links one cell at a time (right-click, Remove Hyperlink),
however there are too many cells affected to do this manually. I have tried
using a macro ...

Sub RemoveHyperlinks()
Selection.Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub

but this has no effect. The link text (shown in a tooltip) is ...
file:///C:\Desktop Guidelines\3.00 Piping Inspection Programs\3.08 Below
Grade Piping Inspection Guidelines\3.08.11 Excavated Pipe Inspection
Guideline.doc

Can anyone suggest a way to get rid of these links? Thanks in advance.
