Export from Passage List Without Verse Hyperlinks?

Does the desktop app allow me to export the contents of a passage list and paste it without the verse references formatted as hyperlinks? The print/export/copy to clipboard utility works great when I paste it into a document as a table. However, the hyperlinked verse reference shows up in a blue font which, when printed, makes the verse reference a little hard to read. I tried changing the Program Settings / Copy Citations / Hyperlink Copied Citations to "No", but that doesn't change the result. I also looked at the forum history on this question. There was a suggestion to paste from the clipboard into a plain text editor, and then into a word processing document. Unfortunately doing this strips out the table formatting.

Is there a different program setting that I need to change? Thank you!

    I could not find a way to remove all hyperlinks in Word after selecting the column. Perhaps altering the font may clarify the hyperlinking.

    I think Ctrl-Shift-F9 removes the hyperlinks from selected text.

    (I've just tested on Mac with Cmd-Shift-F9 and it does remove the hyperlinks, can't check on Windows at the moment)

    Thank you both for looking into this. I've tried your suggestions of Ctrl-Shift-F9 and Cmd-Shift-F9 on my Macbook Air; neither option changes the formatting of the hyperlinked text. I wonder if the cause might be my Mac OS - I'm using a 2015 Macbook Air that runs Monterey 12.7.3. I think I will just take up Dave's suggestion and change the font formatting to make it more legible. It's easy to do.

    Again, I appreciate your help!

    Hi Mike

    Sorry - my comments above weren't clear.

    The Cmd-Shift-F9 should remove the link - but it won't change the formatting.

    But after removing the link you should be able to select all the resulting plain text and then remove the underline  - which wasn't possible while the links were still in place.

    Graham: thanks for the follow-up. I will test those keyboard combinations. 
    Have a great day.

    Try this

    • Hover over the first passage until you see a bold down arrow, then click
      • it should select all passages as a column
    • Home menu > Styles
      • select the bottom option to embed the Styles panel
    • Click Clear all at the top
      • Hyperlink style should appear at the bottom
    • Right click and select Delete Hyperlink...
      • confirm Delete
      • Voila!

    Don't ask! The hyperlink style is deleted from the document but the passages are still hyperlinks.

    I tried this in Word today, and it works! I would never have thought to look at those parts of the MS Word menu structure. Thanks so much!
