Remove Link to Individual in Source record

Post by jbtapscott » 22 Apr 2021 07:10

I have a table in the Text from Source in a Census Source record that includes Links to Individuals in some cells. I now want to remove some of those links and, in essence, turn them back in to "ordinary" text but I cannot see a delete / remove link option. I can see options to add and to edit links, and I thought the latter might have a "clear" type option but I couldn't find anything. I know I can retype the name as ordinary text, but would have also expected to see a clear link option - am I missing something obvious!?

Try highlighting the link use ctrl c to copy then right click and paste unformatted text. Ctrl z will undo that change.

Instead of Ctrl+C you can use the scissor icon Cut (Ctrl+X) top right and then right-click Paste Unformatted Text.

Thanks for that - at least I wasn't missing a specific menu option!

That's a bonus - scissor icon. I've learnt something too😊
