How do I stop hyperlinks when exporting?

When exporting a passage list, or from the text comparison tool, directly into Word, I keep seeing hyperlinks to some site called refly. I'm not sure why ... but how do I stop this peculiar behaviour?

Hi Martin,

I'm very sorry, but I don't see a setting to disable hyperlinking text where we do so by default. The YES/NO option for hyperlinking in Program Settings is for the title of the cited resource only. It also doesn't look like straight exporting to a new or open Word document gives normal Word paste options.

If you export to Clipboard, paste to the Word document, and then chose "Keep Text Only" the hyperlinks will disappear.

This also expunges the rest of the formatting so you will not get get the effect of having the verses in a column on the left and content on the right. Please add this to UserVoice explaining the desired behavior, and link to this thread. It sounds like what you'd like is to be able to strip hyperlinks from the copied Passage Lists but leave the text formatting as-is.

I am not sure about UserVoice though. It never seems to function as I would expect (I can vote/post etc.) but few votes are cast by others ... and there is little upkeep or acknowledgement from FL.

I usually advise people to raise a stink in a forum thread dedicated to your suggestion to gather support and votes. We really do use this to help guide production in the future.

I can understand this. You can appreciate there being use cases where someone wants to navigate to the context of that verse. If you add a uservoice page paste it here, and I can write up a suggestion case internally and link to it.
