How do I delete hyperlinks in a ppt document

There are so many hyperlinks in the ppt document. This is probably a document made with ms powerpoint.

I changed the color easily, but I want to get rid of the underline.
It is easy to delete the underline through “Control+U”, but the problem is that there are too many hyperlinks.
I want to delete it all at once.

Desperate for a way…
I need help.

(I saw a post saying that you can change the text style of the Internet link through search, but it is hard to find the menu… I can’t find which menu it is.)

What you could do is this:
(If you are not accustomed to this method: rename the odp file into zip file; example: MyPresantation.odp ist renamed then MyPresentation.zip.)

  • extract CONTENT.XML from the odp (or zip) file
  • edit in Notepad++ or similar editor
  • SEARCH/REPLACE (regular expressions): <text:a xlink.*?>
    (replace: nothing)
  • SEARCH/REPLACE </text:a>
    (replace: nothing)

So you could replace each “anchor” for hyperlinks including the hyperlink addresses themselves.

  • save the CONTENT.XML
  • delete the content.xml in the odp file
  • insert the altered CONTENT.XML file into the odp file

Hopefully the presentation file (renamed into odp extension) will open without the hyperlinks…
