PhilDAS-
I don't want the text which represents the link (what is this actually called? I feel like it's something like "link tag" but not sure...). That would keep the numbers/letters representing footnotes (albeit not as links). These are right next to words, so the finished thing would have many instances of incorrect words (because they will have random numbers or letters after them).
For example:
When Mr. Faulkner delivered me your former letter (for I have since had one sent me hither by Mr. Pope2) I was just got up from my bed, where I had lain the whole night in most excessive torture, with a violent fit of the gravel.
I don't want that 2 after Pope's name as, if I were to try to search the database I'm constructing for instances of Pope, it won't be included.

Copy and paste help maybe?
I'm doing a lot of copying and pasting of documents right now. However, the original documents have hyperlink footnotes (in both letter and number format). I need to get rid of these as they corrupt any word which they are next to. I can do this using a rather annoying and long process in word (Copy from web source, alt-tab to word, Paste, ALT-F9, CTR-H, find and replace "HYPERLINK" with a space, copy, paste into the app I'm working with (Note++), alt-tab back to web browser). This is a ball ache.
Can anyone thing of a simpler way of doing this? Some sort of advanced copy and paste function that ignores links (both the underlying hyperlink, and the text tag)?
